History NightmareFuel / Splatterhouse

* [[spoiler:The final boss, [[http://sega-addicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/spla0021sn7.png Hell Chaos]], is a giant rotting head and hands.]]
** [[spoiler: Once you realize something about this final boss, though, it somewhat becomes NightmareRetardant, since the fan-name for Hell Chaos is "Captain Mozzarella" (Its boss theme being the "Requiem/Ballad of Captain Mozzarella") due to to his pizza-like look]].

* [[spoiler:The final boss of the second game, known as Ultimate Evil, tops that by being a giant flying mass of red flesh and screaming faces]].
** [[spoiler:Oh, and the game pulls a JumpScare after the credits are over.]]

* The third game is made all the scarier with pictures of the characters that are low-res, yet photo-realistic. You didn't save Jennifer in time? [[spoiler: Then you're immediately treated to that particularly horrifying image of a wrathful, transformed version of Jennifer with four large fangs and two, clearly open eyes, one of which is bulging, as well as facing in a direction for her face to be seen on this page. Good luck sleeping tonight, [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]!]]

** In fact, there are '''two''' images of its kind in-game. The one before it (which you get when the timer reaches 2:00 and you enter a door) has a demonic stare with a bloated head. It's not as scary as the ravage-monster appearance she has in the 0:00 cutscene, but it's THIS image that signifies her death. it can be seen [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/splatterhouse/images/0/0f/Mindles_sbeast.png/revision/latest?cb=20120324020817 here]].
** [[spoiler:The versions of ''Splatterhouse 3'' included in the 2010 remake are either scarier or less scary depending on who you ask.]]

It starts out as a CurbStompBattle at first, and then --'''WHAM!''' The teddy bear lets out an unearthly shriek as the ghost possessing the toy rips its way out as a long-armed monster and starts kicking ''your'' ass!

The ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}'' series is one of the most BodyHorror-filled games you will ever find in a video game since it graced the [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcades]], TurboGrafx16, and the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. [[VideoGameRemake The 2010 remake]] [[NightmareFuel is]] [[{{Gorn}} no]] [[SickAndWrong slouch]], [[{{Squick}} either]].

* Right before fighting [[WarmUpBoss Bellyache]], the enemy that ran away from you witnesses two of its buddies being eaten by the boss. Terrified by this, it tries to flee but sees you coming in. At the last second, [[EatenAlive it chooses to be devoured by Bellyache]] (Offscreen of course) ''[[BetterToDieThanBeKilled instead of]]'' [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled being slaughtered by Rick]]. What does that say about the Terror Mask?

** On the flipside, it becomes funny considering that it sounds like he's saying "I've been ''groovin'''!". And why wouldn't he thanks to the [[EarWorm music playing in the background]]?

** The heart is actually a uterus. It's more apparent in the arcade version, where its water breaks when it's destroyed (which is ''also'' an instant kill, by the way).

* One of the bosses is inside an abandoned church in original arcade version. Said monster is an upside-down cross with demonic masks firing at you.

* [[DamselInDistress Your girlfriend]], Jennifer, who you're supposed to rescue [[spoiler:instead mutates into a [[TragicMonster hideous clawed monstrosity you have to kill]]; its {{evil laugh}} [[FromBadToWorse doesn't make things]] [[TearJerker any better]]]].

* The boss of Stage 2: the Poltergeist, who would later return as a recurring boss in the other Splatterhouse games. In this game, the angry ghost violently shakes the room around, making stuff fall from the ceiling. It then proceeds to possess a chair, three knives, and a creepy painting of an eyeball. When you beat it, it pulls off a LastDitchMove, having a chandelier fall from the ceiling (which is an insta-kill, whether you're using cheats or not).

** Not to mention that he kind of resembles Hell Chaos from the first game (I.E His skin on his torso).

** What truly makes it creepy is its status as a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, as there is absolutely zero findable knowledge on what it is and what its doing down there, and West himself says nothing about it when Rick finds him for the stage's boss fight. One of the scariest things in the entire franchise, indeed.
* Phase 8 has you enter a house of mirrors. Each room had three, each with the reflection of Jennifer. The first reflection begs you to save her. The second implores you to run and save yourself. The third tells you how pathetic you are. You need to break one of the mirrors to get to the next room. If you choose the wrong one, an evil Jen clone will burst out and try to kill you. And if you run out of time, a small army of Jen clones appear. God help you if you don't have [[SuperMode Berserk Mode]] available. It doesn't help they're the {{Demonic Spider|s}} variant of [[{{Mooks}} Hominis]].

** The first boss is a room full of shredded human flesh from which giant leeches leap out and try to attach themselves to you.

* If you decide to not continue after getting a GameOver, [[StrippedToTheBone Rick's body quickly disintegrates to ashes while his skeleton remains]].

** It may double as a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny moment]] when even the Terror Mask's worried about fighting Biggy Man. Yes, the ''Terror Mask'' -- of all things -- is worried about fighting him, even though Rick is quite plainly pointing a shotgun in his face! In the words upon seeing him in the remake:

** During the fight, [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard HE ESCAPES FROM YOU]] and then makes you look around an entirely pitch black room with just the revving of his chainsaws dragging across the ground as he rushes toward you at the last second! Have a good sleepless night.

** Not to mention that he kind of resembles Hell Chaos from the first game (I.E His skin on his torso)

** [[spoiler:There are horrifying implications before and during the ensuing boss fight.

[[AFateWorseThanDeath Or it may have been]] [[MindScrew something else]]. Then as you fight her, she seems to painfully [[TransformationTrauma switch back and forth between her human and monster forms]].]]
