Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Quoted from TheLaw:So this is another dual themed layout with Loony Toons?
Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

As an avid horror fan, this excites me a LOT!!!
Hope we have this in Australia at some point!!
Quoted from Sako-TRG:Hope it’s the original movie
Bad news, also upsetting for myself...
Exurbia films logo in the teaser... They did the '22 Netflix original TCM reboot.
Really kinda bums me out now that I found out. That reboot was fucking horrible
EDIT: Not true disregard

You should do some more research. They own the rights of the original film.
Quoted from Geeterman1:You should do some more research. They own the rights of the original film.
Huh?! I thought Vortex owns the rights to the original??
EDIT: He's right! There in black and white. Glad my dayjob doesn't involve research.

Maybe I’m wrong, but at mimimim they are managing the rights of everything associated with TCM, including the original film.

This does have their logo with the original film.
But - it says this at the bottom of the screen.

Just when I thought it was safe and now it looks like my horror themed line up is getting 2 new additions this year.

What's the other? Love a horror themed lineup.
Quoted from Llabnip1972:The chainsaw could be a red herring. Evil Dead 2 has a chainsaw if memory serves
It's definitely TCM, says so at the end of the teaser.
Quoted from Llabnip1972:I consider Jaws horror. I saw it in theater when I was 3 and it definitely horrified me
I agree. Made me afraid to take a bath (wish I was kidding).
Quoted from cookpins:I agree. Made me afraid to take a bath (wish I was kidding).
Dude. I thought that bastard was going to take a toe off if I let me foot dangle off the bed at night. Great times. Gen X rules
Still remember the day my mom took me and the team to see Halloween in theater. Just picture a Stevie Nick's looking chick with an entire bitty soccer team in tow. Oldest probably 8 years old at the most
Quoted from Robodobro:Where are the rumors about which movie its based off of? Like year
Haven't seen any, but knowing Spooky, they wouldn't of been happy doing anything but the original. I don't think we have to worry about a Toy Story 4 type of fiasco happening here.

Lmfao, what a release of steam that would be "Hey guys, check it out! TCM Next Generation pin!"
Although, argument can be made for TCM2, one of the best black comedies of all time.
Great minds

Quoted from John-Floyd:Haha - Maybe 4 or 5 upper playfields this time?
Of course, attic through basement of the farmhouse yo!

Made me laugh. We know for sure there will be 0 pops.
I like the original film, but I Learned a lesson with Halloween last time around. I’ll let you guys have a stab at this one. Hope it has everything TCM fans are looking for!

Exurbia has the rights currently to the original movie and is producers of the 22 film. Trademark is a different thing.
From the video game devs, TCM2, 3, are under different ownership. 2 and 3 are still with MGM. Next Gen and the remake duology were with New Line.
Quoted from FullTilt83:Looks like the cabinet will have Terry Wolfinger’s art.
Yep he did the art for Texas Chainsaw Massacre board game for Trick R Treat studios, so this is kind of a sample of what to expect.
Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre-The-Game_3594__62378 (resized).jpgTobe Hooper did 1&2 - vastly different films - grindhouse realistic horror & campy black comedy. Once you let go of expectations - both are brilliant. I would love a combo pin like Pinball Brothers (Heighway Pinball) did with Alien and Aliens. Man, the possibilities are endless. I know Halloween got off to a rough start but most owners now seem pretty happy. I did hear the sister pin was going to be Sailer Moon.

I doubt it could ever happen because of rights issues, but man that idea (Alien/Aliens style combo) would be freaking insanity...in the best way. 
Halloween turned out to be an amazing game after things got sorted and code matured... anxious to see TCM, as another great horror theme..

Umm....no, they didn't
Quoted from MK6PIN:Halloween turned out to be an amazing game after things got sorted and code matured... anxious to see TCM, as another great horror theme..
This. Out of the ten machines I own, it's the game I play the most.
Now I'm looking at my games, trying to decide which one is expendable if photos/video of TCM look awesome. I'm out of space, so I'm at the "one comes in, one goes out" stage.
Ain't falling for this preorder shit again. I'll wait for a deeply discounted CE. Fight the FOMO my brothers unless you love losing money.
This is a hard pass for me. Simple as that and not gonna change. Looney Tunes maybe, but with Jaws and Pulp Fiction coming will very, very likely pass there too.
