"I think you're going to see both Ultraman and Halloween collector's editions go into the high $6,000 range. And sadly, I don't think the price drop is going to stop there. My prediction by the end of the year, because more of them are going to be out in the world."

Prediction: Halloween and Ultraman collector's editions will go into the high $6,000 range by August.

"I walked away from Halloween just feeling sort of the same way I did going into it. That it's a game that just lacks a lot of polish. The code needs so much work."

Halloween lacks polish in code and has unsatisfying shot geometry

"People aren't seeing as much in these games. All these games might shoot a little bit better than Rick and Morty. They definitely do not have the code. They definitely do not have the music. They definitely don't have the polish that Scott Danesi's game brought to Spooky Pinball."

Harsh criticism of Spooky's Halloween and Ultraman games as backwards steps

"That's why themes like Halloween are bad because the main character doesn't even talk. It's a very, very bad choice of a theme for Pinball and everybody knows it"

Halloween and Ultraman are poor theme choices

"It is not fair to buy a $9,000 game called Halloween. And you have no idea what assets they have... 30 clips times three seconds. 30 seconds of clips for two movies."

Halloween pinball lacks sufficient movie assets and is overpriced for what's included

"But at this price point now, this is the crossroads of spooky pinball right now. They are priced in the big leagues. And my main question I have, I think they need to invest in more talent and they need to get more people into this company and they need to spend money to get those people."

Spooky Pinball has reached a crossroads - they're now priced at big league levels but using inexperienced talent

"Develop a game for two years and you've got all those people that spooky pinball and nobody looks down at the game and says, dude, it says hedge multiball every time it lights up. Then nobody see this?"

Halloween's 'hedge multiball' insert error was an obvious oversight that should have been caught in production

"It's really hard to sort of translate a movie like Halloween into pinball format and do it like this. It kind of reminds me of that movie where Jason Voorhees, the Friday to 13th, where he goes to New York City. And all of a sudden you remove Jason from the swamp, right? The dark swamp at night and the log cabins. And he's in the middle of this bright time square environment. And it's so weird and it's so off-putting."

Halloween theme doesn't translate well to pinball

Prediction: More people would want a Halloween pinball game than the Pirates of the Caribbean game that was just released.
