Beetlejuice Pinball Machine Review | Spooky Pinball Have Done Something Special!

From the creator

It's showtime! 💀🪲 Join me as I take a first look at Spooky Pinball's Beetlejuice and share my honest first impressions after spending some time with the machine. In this video we'll take a detailed tour of the incredible cabinet, backbox and playfield artwork by the brilliant Christopher Franchi, have a close-up look at the toys and mechanisms, and of course play a game to see how it all comes together. This is one of the most theme-integrated pinball machines I've ever played. From battling the giant Sandworm on Saturn, working alongside your case worker Juno, digging up Beetlejuice himself and reliving some of the film's most iconic moments, there's something happening around every corner. Spooky Pinball have packed this machine with interactive toys, fantastic callouts, brilliant music, memorable film clips and loads of clever pinball moments that really bring Tim Burton's classic movie to life. 🎮 My first impressions 🎨 A detailed look at Christopher Franchi's stunning artwork 👀 Close-up views of the toys and mechanisms 🎬 Incredible Beetlejuice theme integration 🎵 Danny Elfman's iconic soundtrack and Harry Belafonte's legendary "Day-O" 🕹️ Full gameplay Designed by Spooky Luke and Corwin "Bug" Emery, with artwork by Christopher Franchi, audio by Brady Hearn, and code from Spooky DJ and Casey Butler, this is a machine packed with personality, humour and surprises. If you're a Beetlejuice fan, a pinball fan, or simply curious about one of the most anticipated machines of recent years, I think you're going to love this one.

Kineticist’s take

TL;DR

Gonzo hails Beetlejuice as a masterclass in pinball design, artwork, and theme integration.

Synopsis

Gonzo's enthusiastic review of Beetlejuice declares it an exceptional standard-width machine that represents the pinnacle of modern pinball craftsmanship. He praises Christopher Franchi artwork as possibly his best work, highlights innovative features like the dancing sandworm and voice-activated Spooky Speak technology, and positions Beetlejuice alongside recent masterpieces (Evil Dead, Dune, Harry Potter, Jaws) as evidence of a new golden age of pinball driven by manufacturer competition.
