Haunted House: the complete and perfect pinball package? | The backglass is a masterpiece: lightning flashes above the homage to the house on the hill of Hitchcock's "Psycho". | It's great artistic clich�s down to the "trade-mark" blood-splash logo on the pop-bumper caps. | Player's view of the spooky cellar playfield through the window. |

The up-kicker exit from the cellar can be seen in the left of the photo. | Close-up views of the special illuminated posts which welcome the ball into play. 3 holes await the ball, the left-most drops to the cellar, the central one kicks the ball onto the main playfield, and the right-most kicks the ball up to the attic. |

Osbourne's rolldown target is the perfect "Secret Passage". It looks exactly like a regular spot target but it folds back, making the ball vanish before the player's eyes, only to reappear moments later in the cellar. | A scan of the infamous "Secret Passage" plastic: often smashed or missing. Repros have been around for a while as a result. To keep the piece intact, ALWAYS remove the ball from the outhole before raising the playfield! |

The attic playfield is tiny but it still boasts a bank of 4 drop-targets and 4 spot targets, plus a pop-bumper. In these cramped surroundings, the mini-flipper on the left side is perfectly proportioned and packs enough punch. On the right side though, a standard sized flipper was installed. The ball "drains" into the cellar from the left side, down a perspex tube, whilst the right side is linked to the main playfield by the stamped metal ramp. |

A single pop-bumper animates the action on the right side, with a kicking rubber doing a similar job on the left. 2 standard flippers guard the central drain of the cellar playfield, and an unprotected outlane is placed above the left flipper. | What the player doesn't see: the bank of 5 drop-targets at the top/back of the cellar playfield. | Probably one of the best pinball backglasses of all time! |
