GOTTLIEB “HAUNTED HOUSE” PINBALL MACHINE
SYSTEM 80
Haunted House has three playfields (a mini underground playfield, a main playfield, and an upper playfield.),[2] eight flippers, at unique angles, four pop bumpers, two kick-out holes, a secret passage (a false target that drops down after impact to allow entrance to cellar.), a trap door that opens for ball, a lightning animation in the back glass and kicking bat targets.[1] The lower playfield of Haunted House is accessible any time during the game, and the one ball travels between all three playfields. Each playfield is themed to be a part of a haunted house, the main level being the main floor, the lower level being the cellar, and the upper level being the attic.[2][1]
The ball can only be lost from the main playfield, as the ball draining on the attic or cellar playfields will always be returned to another playfield for play to continue.
SOUND EFFECTS
Haunted House employed segments the Bach organ piece, Toccata and Fugue in D minor:[3] during the game’s start (the pronounced opening of the Toccata); during the game itself (a repeated playback of part of the Toccata where the tune alternates quickly between one fixed note and others within the D Minor key); and when the game ends (the famous ending of the Fugue)
NOTEWORTHY FEATURES
- The game uses 4 fat, kicking targets–it kicks the ball away when it hits the target. Gottlieb is the only manufacturer of this unique feature.
- The game uses 2 vertical up-kickers (VUK), one to kick up the ball from the main playfield to the upper level and one in the basement to kick up to the main floor.
- On the main level features a mechanical trap door the game controls, under the ramp. When the light is lit or the ball passes through the lane on the left side of the lower bumper, the trap door opens and remains open until the computer senses the ball dropping through the floor. It is reset at the end of ball.
- Game uses 5th scoring display as a bonus counter. It can be multiplied by the bonus multiplier. Bonus points can be doubled when the player activates any floor’s double-bonus feature.
- “Swallowing” stand-up center target — when hit, ball gets swallowed and enters the basement
- Has double-scoring feature for each of the playfields
- uses fluorescent displays with smaller status display
Pinball Condition
Cabinet – Overall condition is very nice. Very little wear on the overall cabinet. Still very nice coloring and original paint. The comet theme is very attractive with bright coloring.
Back Glass- The overall back glass is in near mint condition. Extremely colorful and bright when the machine is playing or sitting in attract mode. There is absolutely no planking or cracking on this original back glass.
Playfield- Playfield is in very very good condition. There is one very small wear spot. It’s extremely hard to notice, however, we like to point out.
LED’S- We have strategically placed LEDs throughout the back glass and playfield. LEDs run much cooler and much easier on the power board. We only use “COMET” LEDs as we feel they are very bright and adds the dynamic to the older Williams machines.
Instruction Manual/ Schematics– We will do our best to supply all manuals for each pinball machine, however, some manuals are harder to find. All manuals can also be printed on the www.IPDB.org website.
Pictures- If you would like to obtain additional pictures, please e-mail our support team at the following e-mail address. They will be happy to assist:

- Circuit Boards – It’s critical with machines pushing 30+ yrs old to re-build (bullet proof) the circuit boards.
