BACKSTORY:
- - - - - -

This table is solely based on Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) with a small reference to Halloween III (1982)

 

Halloween 2 is one of the greatest movie theater experiences in my life!

 

I was 11 and saw it in the theater after seeing the original Halloween (1978) on the original NBC broadcast (edited of course).

 

The movie audience went absolutely nuts during the whole movie and people were screaming, running out - and when Loomis blows up Michael Myers at the end of the movie, everyone cheered - until he came walking out of the fire - and they started screaming "OH SHIT!!!!"

 

I will never forget that experience!

 

- - - - - -

 

I started this VPX table back in 2018 with Xenonph about a month before the Halloween 2018 remake was gonna come out in movie theaters ... and I got about 80% done with the skills I had at the time which was basically a re-skin with some sound and music added.

 

Then I went to see the 2018 remake of Halloween and absolutely hated it ... Fucking Blumhouse Garbage!

 

I was so disappointed in the 2018 remake that I lost interest in finishing this table all together ...

 

Cut to 4 years later ...

 

After several years of medical issues / problems, and life and work taking up most of my time ... I decided to take another look at my table I had done about a month ago.

 

I showed my progress to Apophis and he urged me to finish it in time for this Halloween season - because he thought is was a decent start and worth finishing.

 

Since I starting using / learning VPX 2018, I have learned a lot more about making / modifying tables ... and between Apophis and I, we completely rebuilt the table it was originally based on (Medusa) replacing every single part on the playfield, re-writing 99% of the script, AND added a slew of new features, effects, and actions to it to basically now be able to call this table an ORIGINAL, and not a re-skin anymore.

 

No detail or addition to this new table was added without serious thought put forth, and wouldn't enhance / add to the overall gameplay. Everything was approached with the "let's make it the BEST it can be!" attitude.

 

If Apophis had not urged me to finish this table, or dedicate the time he did to work on this with me ... this table would never have seen the light of day - nor look / play as well as it does. And for that I am truly grateful.

 

You can expect to see more great things come from the two of us collaborating in the future.

 

As you can guess - this table took a huge amount of our time to create and make as perfect as possible - PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY USING THE LIKE BUTTON, COMMENT OR REVIEW, OR BEER US!

 

So - without furthers a-due: "It's TIME, Michael! BOOM!"

 

NOTES:
- - - - -

There are multiple ways to gain serious points on this table, SKILL SHOT, MULTI-BALL, BONUSES, and EXTRA BALL!

Be sure to READ the RULES for the table by pressing and HOLDING the RIGHT magnasave BEFORE starting an actual game.


TABLE OPTIONS:
- - - - -

We took a great amount of time to make sure this new table had all the necessary options for the player to get the full experience from it - whether playing in Desktop / Cabinet Mode, a system with robust sound system, or little computer speakers. Every aspect of the sound can be adjusted at the top of the script for you to be able to balance out ALL the sounds of the table to your personal preference.

 

Mechanical Volume, Ball-Rolling Volume, Ramp-Rolling, CallOut Volumes, Effects Sounds, Simulated ROM Sounds, Music Volume, etc can all be adjusted to exactly what you want the table to sound like when you are playing.

 

Additionally, there are 9 levels of LUT adjustments that can be made holding down the LEFT MAGNASAVE and then pressing the RIGHT MAGNASAVE. We strongly suggest you get the LUT set to how you want BEFORE you play a game because this table used the MAGNASAVE buttons for the 'Fire Gun' save post between the slippers during gameplay.

 

The overall GI color scheme can be set as well from Normal, to Blue, to Orange coloring. This option can be permanently set at the top of the script, but can also be changed on the fly by pressing the BUY-IN (2) key on your keyboard during gameplay.


SETUP:
- - - - -

Copy / Move the .vpx table to your 'Tables' folder.
Copy / Move the B2S file to your 'Tables' folder - Make sure it is names exactly the same as the table. (If you use B2S Backglass files)
Copy / Move the folder 'Halloween' to your Music folder. (Example: /Music/Halloween)

DMDs and Topper have been included with this package. Choose the DMD (and Topper) that will work best with your system and load it into your front end (Ie: LCD DMD or Real Color DMD)

Multiple versions of the Backglass (for cabinet users) have been included. Choose which backglass you like best to use with this table: Pro, Premium, or Limited Edition.

This table was originally built and fully updated in VPX 10.62 and has been tested in 10.62 and 10.72. It HAS NOT BEEN tested in 10.8 because at the time of release 10.8 is still in Beta.

FANTASTIC... I disagree with another review... the Medusa table is modified and plays well for this design.  Plays better than the medusa table as the upper section plays way to fast in Medusa.  The graphics, music, commentary are all spot on.  Well done and cj=heck you account... I sent you a six pack.

 

Also, I really appreciate everything included... would like to see more releases like this.

 

B2S options

Sound/music files

Topper video

A complete package!

Thanks... for your time and efforts!

Absolutely amazing,

 

Halloween was the most scary horror for me growing up and it still scares me today. I love the theme. You saw Halloween 2 at the cinema! That is amazing!. I saw h20 😎 You have captured so much of the original movies here and I really appreciate the work. I love the addition of the Halloween flippers are great. 
 

One of my favourite releases of the year. Well done to all involved…

Fantastic job to @HiRez00 @apophis and everyone else involved.   Ya'll have done an amazing job of hyping this table all month.  It's been worth the wait.   The Kickback  / centerpost is one of my favorite VPX details since the Blood Machines green laser.

This site and the community are amazing.  Every time you turn around there is something new and exciting.  This is no exception.  I can't wait to set this up and play it. 

Thanks to everybody.  You are all amazing!!!

 

And I agree.  The '78 and '81 are the best.
