Skill Shot

Watch the screen for moving gargoyle targets

  • First skill shot, plunge when right gargoyle is about to cycle to middle gargoyle

  • Subsequent skill shots, when left gargoyle lit and about to cycle to the right gargoyle

  • Advances V I D E O and awards 1M (+1M each up to 5M)

Ruleset

Most important shot is the left ramp

Scoring X is increased if you stack MBs, up to 3X - can be done in any order

Bats and Rats increases bonus and carries over from ball to ball - get this as early as possible

Rats

  • Shoot the castle scoop on the right of PF three times to start

    • switched based hurry up - best to shoot pops

  • Awarded in bonus for every ball

Bats

  • Left ramp starts Bats mode - first is 3 ramps, and then every 10 after that

  • collect 15 switches as fast as possible to complete - best to shoot pops

  • Completion award starts at 50M and counts down to 2M

Castle MB: Most lucrative MB

  • Shoot either 3-bank standup targets to light lock, must hit outside targets first, then center target

    • Left ramp to lock balls, 3 locks starts MB

  • If right ramp is raised, left ramp can light ball lock

  • Shoot left ramp lights JP at mist hole, and locks ball for a few seconds, locking a 2nd ball doubles JP briefly

  • Shoot mist hole whenever lit to collect JP

  • Ball locks can be stolen

Mist MB:

  • Lit at the upper left hole after enough left ramps made (1st is 5 ramps, subsequent at 10)

  • Then shoot mystery saucer - then a magnet will move a ball across the playfield, hit this to start MB

  • All ramps and tunnels worth 10M, targets worth 250K, loop left ramp

Coffin MB:

  • Shoot right ramp 5 times, shots start at 500K and increase 500K until 2.5M

  • After 5 shots ramp is raised and lock is lit - lock three balls to start MB

  • Right ramp spots a letter in D R A C U L A, awards JP when complete

  • At the start of Coffin MB the left in-lane is lit for 2X scoring (timed feature)

Video Mode

  • Shots to the right orbit spell to V I D E O - not worth shooting for this intentionally

  • Use flippers to shoot Werewolves on that side of the screen, the closer to you the more the kill is worth

Asylum - located above and behind left 3-bank targets, awards 5M if ball enters, hit flippers to double award

❗️Note: There is a bug in BSD that if you get a tilt warning on ball drain you will not be awarded bonus
