Monster Bash

Monster Bash, Stern. The original Williams make was from 1998 but they decided to make more of them in 2018. The concept (conceit? Plot?) behind the game is that you activate each of the monsters and then they play musical instruments in a “monster bash”.

So we’ve got Frankenstein as the DJ, Bride of Frankenstein singing, Mummy on base guitar, Werewold on drums, Creature (presumably from the black lagoon) on saxophone and Dracula on guitar. Very loose drawing style. I like it.

 

Iron Maiden Legacy of the Beast

Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Pro edition). Stern, 2018. The conceit of this one is that mummies (zombies?) are attacking. But apparently the front mummy is also a cyborg carrying a laser pistol. And the next one back is wielding a guitar, one is dressed as a WW2 fighter pilot, one is in a pharaoh headdress, one is a British soldier….

… and there’s a woman to the right in a slinky dress controlling them via magic and a floating pinball maybe? Oh and a giant devil head in the background to the left.

Music is weird, yo.
