Despite a legendary history, horror themed pinball machines have been conspicuously absent from the new pinball landscape this millennium. But just when it looked like the death of the genre…STERN Pinball has announced their newest title – The Walking Dead!
 
Special guest & Horror/Sci Fi pinball aficionado Charlie Emery joins us for a look at the genre’s place in pinball history. As well as talking about, playing & collecting them, Charlie is leading the charge of boutique pinball manufacturers building new games. But, how long till he starts loading a container bound for Australia?
 
With the new Homepin THUNDERBIRDS pinball machine on the way, we take a look at what’s inside the boxes being shipped out of their manufacturing facility in China this month.
 
Pintech Stevie’s Super Tip is so obvious you’d have to be crazy not to do it…fit Cliffy hole protectors to your game or risk total playfield annihilation. So why are some people not doing it?
 
This episode’s Pinball Appearances in Popular Culture features scenes from Greg The Bunny starring Seth Green, an awesome Waylon Jennings narration of Dukes Of Hazzard & The Bachelor Australia…plus some more obscure sightings.
 
And we’ll find out why people are freaking out over JAWS in 2014!
 
So join broadcaster Rod Cuddihy, International Pinball Hunter Gary Christiansen & professional pinball technician Steve Hyde for Americana from Down Under, in episode 9 of The Pinheadz Pinball PODcast!

I didn't realise you guys were going to talk about my builds.....(I guess I should have read the post better !@))...imagine my surprise when we got airborne and I settled back with the MP3 going to hear all about Hankin tables shipping!!!

Another excellent podcast guys. ^^^

HAHA, thanks Mike! As our only pin builder it'll be a rare episode you dont get a mention  %$%

But bringing HANKIN COCKTAILS back from the dead is a bloody big deal!! Congrats again.  ^^^

The ship has docked in Bris and I am expecting the container to be delivered Thursday - if all that goes to plan we should have a table at Pinfest for "show & tell" this weekend.

Was another great listen ! JUST shy of 3 hours  ()

Horror movies and Pinball - two of my favorite things in life. Indeed Bally "Vampire" was the first horror themed pinball that I can remember, and it is on my "wish list"..

Finally finished listening to this one today. Another enjoyable listen to you guys chatting all things pinball. One small complaint I have is I could not always hear Gary and Steve as it seemed they were too far from the microphone. I can always hear Rod perfectly. I am afraid I may miss some detail in the conversation. Anyway good job and keep it up. Look forward to the next episode.

agree but thought it might be my hearing. I turn up the volume a fair bit to enable hearing the other two. Great show though

I turn 49 on Tuesday so my hearing is probably on the way out. I also listen while driving which also introduces vehicle noise but hopefully the guys can adjust their gear to make it more audible to old blokes like me.
