Haunted House

Haunted House is a Physical Pinball Table released by Gottlieb in 1982. Designed by John Osborne and illustrated by Terry Doerzaph, it is considered to be one of Pinball’s iconic tables, the first game to take place across three interconnected playfields.

As the title suggests, this game takes place above, below, inside, and around a Haunted House, with the player thoroughly exploring it for points while avoiding the various traps and spirits. While lightning flashes on the backglass, start on the main floor, then take the ramp or the up-kicker into the Attic with its occupied coffin. Alternately, use the Secret Passage or the Trap Door to enter the Cellar, where the reversed playfield is filled with rats, a shackled skeleton, and grabbing ghouls. Return to the main table, knock down the cobwebs for double scoring, then tap the five targets for an Extra Ball or a Special.
