Description
The marketing slogan "Elvira is No Cheap Date!" referring to the new .50/.75/1.00 pricing scheme.{{Cite web | url=http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=782 |title = Internet Pinball Machine Database: Midway 'Elvira and the Party Monsters'}} Elvira and the Party Monsters was made shortly after the merger of Williams and Bally. Although the game uses a vaguely Bally-style cabinet and flippers, all the rest of the game hardware are completely made up of Williams parts. The machine uses a System 11B CPU and associated board setup.{{Cite web | url=http://pinball.org/rules/elvira.html | title=Pinball Archive Rule Sheet: Elvira and the Party Monsters}}
