YMMV / Elvira's House of Horrors

• Contested Sequel: It's a point of contention as to whether the game lives up to Elvira and the Party Monsters and Scared Stiff. Detractors find the layout boring, the code incomplete (at launch, at least), and the lack of Dennis Nordman's trademark distinctive ramps unfortunate. Meanwhile, fans defend the game as fun as-is, and the code as both presently good and likely to get much better as updates bring it closer to 1.00 (owing to Lyman Sheats' reputation for incrementally improving his games' code).
• Spiritual Adaptation: The number of films featured that were also used for Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes^note Specifically, Attack of the Giant Leeches, Eegah!, Hercules and the Captive Women, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Teenagers from Outer Space, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, The Giant Gila Monster, The Killer Shrews, and Tormented has led some to consider it the closest thing there is to a pinball game based on that series.
