Game features Elvira, the "sexiest vamp this side of Transylvania".

The Skull Pile in the upper right corner of playfield did not have light-up eyes in production games. Any games that have LED's in the skull eyes have had this done after-factory. Dancing boogeymen kickers are also an after-factory modification.

One of the best Scared Stiff sites on the web is undoubtedly Robert Winter's Page.

Marketing Slogans: "So fun, It's Scary!"
"Elvira has the features that turn players on."
