Career

Emery started with a retheme project of Godzilla based on a Williams firepower II.[2] He went on to design his own pinball machine called "pinball zombies from beyond the grave", which has been turned into a Rob Zombie themed pinball with updated layout.[3] He currently runs a pinball company called "Spooky Pinball",[1] named after his podcast. Spooky Pinball finished manufacturing 150 units of "America's Most Haunted" designed by Benjamin Heckendorn as of January 2016.[4]

Emery worked for Signcraft screen printing in Galena, IL from 1992-2013 before starting his pinball company.[5] Many of the techniques he learned have carried over to pinball, including direct printing to playfields and cabinets. He has been podcasting since April 2010.[6] He often has his family on, including his two kids (Corwin "Bug" Emery and Morgan "Squirrel" Emery) who do skits to advertise products, as well as pinball and horror related celebrities. In the past year, Charlie has handed the reins of the podcast over to his son bug, dubbing it the "bugcast". On the February 2021 podcast they announced that they would be shifting from podcasting to more video content.[3]
