A homebrew showcase at Pinball Expo 2026 (PinDevCon) featuring Mark's Nightmare Before Christmas homebrew pinball machine, a wide-body build begun around 2013 and modeled after a Twilight Zone cabinet. Mark discusses the game's three mode trees (holidays, characters, Oogie Boogie battles), diverters, and custom metal ramps and hand-routed playfield, then gives advice to aspiring homebrewers about community resources and starter kits. He also mentions a current project modernizing a 1980s Spider-Man as '67'.
