Full playfield of a horror/occult-themed late-1990s solid-state machine, photographed from above in its cabinet. Dominant palette is orange and amber flame washes, purple and magenta, bone white, blood red and black. At the centre of the playfield a huge snarling werewolf-like head with shaggy yellow-olive fur, glowing orange almond eyes and a wide open red mouth of fangs serves as the main art, sitting above a stepped dark-blue stone staircase that runs up the left-centre. Just below it a pair of grey skulls with glowing blue eye sockets form the skull gate, flanked by round inserts reading BONUS and MULTIPLIER, and above them a small green insert reads 10 000. Lower centre is a bright fan of orange and yellow flames with the words SHOOKY AGAIN. Four large translucent magenta/pink plastic ramps sweep in big loops across the upper half and down both flanks. The top arch carries a bone-coloured arch of skulls with round amber lamp inserts, flanked by a purple winged demon on the right and an orange-red demonic shape on the left. A green-and-yellow webbed drain area sits at lower centre. Two cream/ivory flippers at the bottom, a rules card in the lower-left corner and white instruction cards across the apron.

A horror-themed backglass painted in lurid airbrushed greens, blues and oranges. Across the upper third loom three giant ghostly faces in a dark blue night sky streaked with branching orange lightning bolts: at far left a snarling green monster head with bared white teeth and a deep black eye socket, in the centre a pale bald white head with a grimacing mouth and a red-rimmed eye, and at right a large angular green face with a glowing red eye and a pointed ear. A brown owl with vivid orange eyes and a spread barred wing sits dead centre in the foreground, perched on a mossy green wooden fence rail. The title, in huge red-to-orange flame-like brush script outlined in yellow, sweeps diagonally across the right half, overlapping a crooked, dilapidated house with glowing yellow windows. Green-painted picket fence boards, gravestones and bare black tree branches fill the lower half. A faint diagonal website watermark runs across the bottom right corner.
