The goal

Score big. Light the skull, feed it for multiball, then cash in jackpots before the balls drain. You get 3 balls.

The shots

• R·I·P lanes (top): roll through one to pick a song. Light all three and the bonus multiplier goes up (2X–5X) and the bumpers turn super for 20 seconds. Your flippers slide the lit lanes left and right.
• Pop bumpers: 100 a hit, 500 while super. Every hit plays the song.
• B·O·O tombstones (right): drop all three to light the skull.
• F·I·E·N·D targets guard the skull. Knock them down to open a path. Drop all five for FIEND CLUB: the skull scores double. They pop back up after the skull eats a ball.
• Upper flipper (left side, works with Left Shift): catches balls coming off the loop. Aim it at the hearse, the tombstones or the skull.
• Skull (shoot up the middle): it eats the ball and spits it back. 5,000. When it's lit, it starts MULTIBALL. During multiball it's the SUPER JACKPOT: 50,000.
• Loop (left lane, through the cemetery gates and around the top): 2,500, doubled if you hit two in a row. During multiball it's the JACKPOT: 25,000.
• Hearse (upper right): smash it 5 times to wreck it. 15,000 and the multiplier goes up.
• Skill shot: launch so the ball drops into the blinking top lane. 10,000.

What the lights mean

• Red arrows point at the shot worth the most right now.
• Green SHOOT AGAIN and the small green lights: ball save is on. Lose the ball and you get it back.
• Green beams, left: super bumper time left. Right: how many tombstones are down.
• Skull ladder: your bonus multiplier.
• Skull eyes blinking: the skull is lit. Feed it.
