    TRIVIA
    Scared Stiff was released in September 1996. 4,028 units were produced.

    The animation for Meat Head shows a cow moo'ing.

    There are 3 video tapes on the backglass:
    'Corn Man from Mars' was Pat McMahan's name for the Martians that Doug Watson designed for Attack from Mars.
    'Black Thursday' refers to the day everyone was laid off at WMS.
    'Curse of the Zombie Cows'. Them cows again!

    One of the deadheads, Bad Head, is playfield designer Steve Ritchie.

    The cat in the backglass was drawn from a photo of designer Dennis Nordman's wife's cat, Chelsea.

    In Attract mode, watch the list of Elvira's Favorite Stiffs. Sometimes DOHO is displayed as the oldest stiff at the bottom of the list.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    During Attract mode, press one of the following sequences:
    B, 3L, 15R, 23L, 1R (that spells cow!)
    B, 13L, 15R, 15L, 1R.
    B, 13L, 1R, 2L, 1R.
    B, 3L, 10R, 19R, 1L.
    Please note that the L & R are reversable on all the codes to this game.

    When Drac says 'Hurry, stop the spider!' the display usually shows a spider crawling up the web. But if instead the display shows the number 3 crawling up the web, then press the startbutton 3 times. This awards an extra Spider Spin.

    Achieve a high score and enter the initials MOO.
