If it is Scooby, I would hope for the earlier series which were by far the best.
And one of the original cast doing call outs.
Otherwise, it's a hard pass.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Take it for what it is worth.

My guess is Beetlejuice.
Stern designers were offered it, but declined, so license was up for grabs.
Big enough theme to sell 1000.
Quoted from Fytr:Interesting...
With Ben's New Boards (tm) being used in the new game, I'm seriously hoping that Spooky can move away from the individual LED boards on every friggin' insert and go to lightboards like most other manufacturers. I would consider R&M barely manufacturable with all those friggin LED wires running all over the place, blocking access to everything under the PF.
My game even shipped missing one led altogether, I can't say I blame the guys on the line, it's a nightmare (QA is fired, though!).
Is it a coincidence that these new boards are called Beetlejuice?? 
If I say Beetlejuice 3x will it make it more likely?
Goonies - really not getting how this would make a good pinball.
Easiest pass ever.

Based on clue, this is closest match for sure.
Purple castle!

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:With people scrutinizing every syllable of every word Charlie posts, nobody paid attention to his last post?

Friday 13th got to be most likely I guess.
Camp could be a Rocky Horror Picture Show Clue but seems unlikely, even though I can see Bowen doing the time warp as he plays 
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:ALSO, gonna say what no one is trying to say...
KANEDA WAS RIGHT! LMAO
Really?
His first guess was Scooby.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:So, stacked and loaded is a clue?
Meatloaf?
Picture clue.
Bat out of hell?
I suggested this a while back, but it's not a niche title so confused now!
Quoted from Alaskanzen:Rocky horror picture show confirmed
Rocky Horror mentioned a ton of times in this thread.
Ben never said no.
Remember the camp Spooky clue?
I thought that might be a Rocky Horror clue.
Lets do the time warp now!
Quoted from Beechwood:No way.
Wayne's World is WAAAYYYY too obscure.
It's supposedly niche - this ticks all the boxes.
Well, didn't see Ultraman coming!
That said, the clues were there for those that did the picture digging.
It's camp, niche and Charlie adores it.
Case closed 
Quoted from HC2016:Little competition going on between both manufacturers ... Godzilla and now UltraMan
Hmmm
Remember how Stern snaffled the Godzilla licence from under Charlie's nose?
Guessing Charlie got Ultraman instead.
Might be some interest in Japan for this title!
'The Ultraman brand generated US$7.4 billion in merchandising revenue from 1966 to 1987, equivalent to more than $17 billion adjusted for inflation. Ultraman was the world's third top-selling licensed character in the 1980s, largely due to his popularity in Asia.'
Looks like scoring way higher in this game, if you look at the screenshots.
Do prefer higher scoring games.
Can't wait to see gameplay on both
Only thing I don't like is the LED strip lights.
The games really don't need them.
If I get an Ultraman, I wonder if they are easily removed?
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:It was a team effort. The designer is listed as ‘Koris Barloff’ or something but Charlie, Bug and a few others had their hands in it.
I’m a bit worried about depth of rules / code myself. As it stands now I’m not sure I’m into it. Seems like you could get to the final wiz mode pretty quick if your a good player. From what I gather the rules were written by Bug w/ Bowen as consultant and epthegeek coding? Will personally wait to see if he goes wild with updates like he did on RAM but for some reason I don’t see that happening for this game mostly based on the fact that there’s not really a whole lot going on in the film itself.
Eric is just consulting, Fawzma is the coder.
Bowen & Eric on R&M are kind of the dream team really.
Be interesting to see how the R&M code is rated when 100% done, as hearing it's pretty darn good already!
Guessing no video today.
Kinda sucks but from a marketing perspective, the move probably gains more sales than it loses.
Ultraman gonna be sold out tomorrow.
Halloween at 1250 units, would be spectacular if that sells out tomorrow!
Going to be an interesting day.

Quoted from WizardsCastle:Yes, but we all started throwing money at our screen on day one without seeing anything, so what has changed?
If people were complaining they missed out, why aren't they scooping these up?
R&M was a super hot, current licence and only 750 games, with Scott design, Bowen & Eric on the code, and call outs by the guy who does the show.
It's a big jump to 1750 games, unknown playfield designer, different coder etc.
Spooky did incredible to sell out on Day 1, but unlikely to be the same premiums on these games, unless they turn out to be fantastic.

Quoted from PlanetExpress:I think the “Ride The Comet!” call-out when they hit the habit trail from the upper playfield is what they were talking about.
Sounds like something out of Futurama?
Would be a popular title for sure.

Quoted from Capn12:Well, the first prototype toy was sent to Kaneda, it was a bookcase on a motor that slid left and right. So that is the first clue.
