Dracula Girl
About This Machine
Dracula Girl is a rare and enigmatic electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from Talleres CAR of Barcelona, Spain. Its exact production year remains unknown, but its existence is a testament to the diversity of pinball manufacturing outside the United States. Interestingly, despite the name, the central character on the backglass and lower apron is a male vampire, with a female vampire's head appearing only in the lower corners of the backglass.
Players can enjoy a classic EM experience with two flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, six standup targets, a captive ball, and a kick-out hole. The machine's design is notable for its wedge-shaped headbox, which was a relatively uncommon feature during this era. Five score reels are used to display scores, with the units digit being a real number rather than a dummy zero. A replay window in the backglass adds an extra layer of visual interest.
While Dracula Girl may not boast any particularly groundbreaking innovations, its unique blend of design elements and theme make it a fascinating addition to the pinball community. Very little is known about this machine beyond its basic specifications, leaving enthusiasts with more questions than answers about its origins and intended audience.
