A densely layered playfield in purple, teal-blue, gold and orange-red. Dark score reels and display windows run across the top. The upper left is dominated by a painted figure with a bare skull-like white face, dark eye sockets and bright green hair, wearing purple sleeves, both bony hands gripping grey-brown wooden planks. A large curved silver metal ramp sweeps from the upper right down the right side, with a translucent blue plastic ramp and yellow post cap behind it. The mid-playfield carries red translucent pop-bumper caps, small green round bumpers printed with a cross motif, and a row of white-and-lavender teardrop inserts. Wooden box targets read TOYS and HATS, with a green round target reading LADY between them. The centre holds an oval medallion portrait of five long-haired young men against a starfield, ringed with rope-like trim, above a huge gold winged crest carrying an ornate arched logotype in gold-and-silver letters. Two long-haired women flank the crest, yellow triangular inserts point inwards, and two white flippers with red rubber sit at the bottom. The apron reads SHOT AGAIN in big white block letters either side of a round star logo and a painted musket.

A single-level American-style pinball playfield lit from within by magenta, purple and cyan LED strips along both side rails and the whole cabinet interior. The artwork is a lurid 1970s-style airbrushed horror-comedy scene in hot pink, purple, orange, lime green and black. Down the centre runs a large oval portrait of five grinning young people - two boys and three girls, shaggy 1970s hair, bare shoulders - bursting out of a shattered wooden lid. A big curved script logo in cream, orange and magenta with a white drop shadow sits across the middle. Below it stand eight small rectangular labelled targets in a stacked pyramid (TOYS, LOCK, SUPER VALUE, RAINBOW ARROWS, SPACE COMMANDER, PLAYER 1 / PLAYER 2, MYSTERY, LAST CHILD). Above, a loose diagonal line of yellow and red traffic cones, lime star roundels, and green roundels with black X marks. On the upper playfield are large pink and flesh-coloured monster and zombie sculptures, a green saw-blade pickup, and clear plastic ramps. On the lower left and right are two yellow instruction cards, a red credit card, and a yellow card at bottom centre.

Photographed backglass of an electro-mechanical pinball machine, bordered by a pale sea-green cabinet edge and mounted behind glass with a bright diagonal glare streak across the upper left. The painted field is a flat mid-blue with big magenta and red rococo swirls. Four black-framed mechanical score windows are inset around the edges, each with a yellow hand-lettered caption: three stacked down the left edge and one at the upper right, each sitting above a white window with four numeral reels. Centre-top carries a yellow script word 'Bally' with a white interior shadow, and under it a huge arched title 'HOO' in heavy yellow slab-serif block capitals outlined in black. The centre of the glass is a circus ensemble painted in a flat 1950s storyboard cartoon style: four white-faced clowns in red and orange ruffled costumes, one standing on shoulders playing a long yellow horn, one wearing a purple pointed hat blowing a small horn, one in a white ruff playing a red-and-white keyboard melodeon, and one crouching at the right with a horn. To the right stand a white horse with a magenta harness beside a red curtained circus wagon holding a pale white-haired clown, and above the wagon a white dove with black-tipped wings. A yellow, pink and red decorated panel fills the lower right. The lower left corner carries a red arrow-shaped legend reading '1, 2, 3, 4 CAN PLAY' over four numbered pink circles. A small blue panel at bottom centre-right reads 'BALL IN PLAY' in white capitals. The glass has a green cast overall and a visible reflection of the room.

A painted band-themed backglass: five long-haired male musicians crowd shoulder to shoulder across the upper half, framed inside a ragged oval window of deep blue and black starfield. Centre front a singer with long brown hair, a purple headband, a blue T-shirt and purple wristbands screams into a silver microphone held to his mouth.

A raised bare arm grips a dark object above the group. Below them a huge golden winged crown emblem spans the width, its five points spreading left and right like feathered wings.

A painted, comic-book style backglass dominated by a five-piece rock band posed across the upper two thirds, with a pair of huge golden-tan feathered wings spreading left and right behind a black-and-gold crown and star badge at the centre. Five figures, all with long hair: at far left a slim guitarist in a dark sleeveless top holding a pale electric guitar; left of centre a frontman with a patterned headband, long dark hair and open mouth, wearing a blue-and-white patterned shirt and wristbands, one hand raised with splayed fingers; at centre a long black-haired figure head tilted down; right of centre a curly blond drummer gripping drumsticks above a red-shelled drum; at far right a long-haired guitarist in a dark top playing a white-and-blue guitar.
