(That the first three Splatterhouse games featured no real human foes to beat up probably helped, too.) The game's later release on the TurboGrafx-16 received some Bowdlerization to avoid the same fate later games did not get such treatment, as the relative obscurity of Splatterhouse spared the port and its sequels from the crosshairs of the early 1990s 'violence in video games' moral panic spawned by Mortal Kombat and Night Trap. Namco released the first Splatterhouse in arcades in the United States, its graphic violence sparked a media frenzy from Moral Guardians, which got the game pulled from arcades.

Rick has a constant companion throughout this freak show of demented demons: the Terror Mask, an Ancient Artifact that confers great and terrible powers upon anyone who wears it - and seems to have a mind of its own. Players control the protagonist Rick Taylor as he fights against diabolical supernatural forces in a struggle to save the woman he loves (and, in Splatterhouse 3, his son).

Splatterhouse is a series of Beat 'em Up games created by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
