About This Retro Game
Notable for its extreme gore and horror movie influences, Splatterhouse was controversial upon release for its graphic violence. The Terror Mask grants Rick superhuman strength but also slowly corrupts him.
The game features iconic horror elements like chainsaws, undead creatures, and body horror transformations. Its dark atmosphere was inspired by B-movies like Friday the 13th and The Evil Dead.
Despite (or because of) its controversial content, Splatterhouse became a cult classic and spawned multiple sequels. It's considered one of the first horror-themed action games and influenced later titles like Resident Evil.
