Splatterhouse (スプラッターハウス) is an action game originally released for arcades by Namco.

Story

Rick, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, two college students with an interest in the occult, decide to visit the abandoned mansion of the infamous parapsychologist, Dr. West, whom supposedly conducted horrific experiments in his private lab located in the house before he mysteriously disappeared. Arriving during a massive thunderstorm, Rick and Jennifer take shelter inside the house only to be attacked by monsters. Rick is knocked unconscious and left for dead, while Jennifer is taken captive. When Rick awakens, he discovers that the "Terror Mask," an unholy artefact said to give inhuman strength to the wearer, is now attached to his face. With the power of the Terror Mask, Rick must now brave the horrors of West Mansion in order to save Jennifer from the mad doctor's creations...or die trying.
