Spooky Pinball LLC, founded by Charlie Emery in Benton, Wisconsin in 2013, is a family-led boutique pinball manufacturer known for horror-themed pinball, licensed pinball machines, and a direct-to-consumer, limited-run production model that emphasizes hands-on engagement with collectors and the pinball community. Emerging from Emery’s early custom projects and podcast roots, Spooky made its commercial debut with America’s Most Haunted (2014) and built its reputation with cult-pop titles like Rob Zombie’s Spookshow International and the 1980s-inspired Total Nuclear Annihilation while also performing contract manufacturing for clients on projects such as Domino’s Spectacular Pinball Adventure and The Jetsons. High-profile collaborations and licensed releases — most notably Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle, produced in a 2017 run that helped broaden Spooky’s reach — showcased the company’s ability to work with entertainment brands and deliver themed, collectible machines. Spooky’s licensed Rick and Morty pinball (2020) sold out its 750-unit production run within hours, cementing the company’s place in the modern pinball revival and demonstrating strong collector demand for limited-run licensed pinball machines. Continuing a strategy of diverse themes and simultaneous development, Spooky released dual-themed and fan-focused machines such as Halloween and Ultraman (2021) and family-friendly licenses like Scooby-Doo, expanding its catalog while maintaining its boutique craftsmanship and community-driven sales approach. Today Spooky Pinball blends boutique manufacturing, creative partnerships, and direct sales to deliver distinctive, collectible pinball machines that appeal to horror enthusiasts, music and pop-culture fans, and collectors worldwide.
