While wandering in the woods (for a date, maybe), both Rick and Jennifer take refuge from a nasty storm in West Mansion, known to locals as "[[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace the Splatterhouse]]" because of rumors about insane experiments carried out by renowned--and missing--researcher Dr. West. A group of demons attack the couple after they enter, kidnapping Jennifer and leaving Rick for dead. Rick awakens in the mansion's dungeon, only to discover that his face has something on it: the "Terror Mask", a Mayan artifact capable of sentient thought, and unknown to Rick, the very same mask he used while playing the movie in the past. The Mask, now fused to Rick, gives him superhuman strength and encourages him to explore the mansion to find Jennifer. Rick kills pretty much anything (emphasis on ''thing'', and this time for real, as opposed to being movie props) in his path as he climbs to the mansion's upper floors, but when he finds Jennifer, she transforms into a monster. An enraged Rick kills the monster to stay alive, then discovers that the mansion has become a living creature. Once Rick destroys its "womb", it "dies" and goes up in flames. Rick escapes the mansion and kills the final creature blocking his way (in the graveyard outside of the mansion); after the creature dies, the Terror Mask explodes, and Rick returns to normal.

Three months after the destruction of West Mansion, nightmares of the Splatterhouse--and Jennifer--continue to haunt Rick. During one of these nightmares, Rick hears the Terror Mask's voice again. It tells him that Jennifer's soul lives on; if Rick can save it, he can bring Jennifer back to life. Rick returns to West Mansion, puts on the reformed Terror Mask, and travels through the ruins of West Mansion (and a secret pathway therein) to a secluded mansion belonging to West's research partner, Dr. Mueller. Mueller's mansion contains a portal into Hell itself, where a demonic force known as The Evil One holds Jennifer's soul. Rick enters this portal, fights off Hell itself to save Jennifer's soul, and leaves with Jennifer in his arms...and The Evil One on his trail. Rick manages to outrun The Evil One, fight off the last pursuing abominations, and lay the Terror Mask to rest once more.

The canon ending, according to WordOfGod, is [[GoldenEnding the one where Rick saved both Jennifer and David.]] And thus, after all the hellish hardships Rick endured, he finally [[EarnYourHappyEnding earns his happy ending]]: he saved the world from a source of evil permanently and can finally live HappilyEverAfter with the family he protected with his strength and willpower.
At least, in this one continuity.

Five years after saving Jennifer, Rick has become a successful Wall Street tycoon who lives in a mansion in Connecticut with Jennifer and their son, David. David has latent psychic abilities, however, and The Evil One plans on using those powers to unlock the power of the Dark Stone, an artifact that can open a portal between Hell and Earth large enough for an army of demons to come through. The Terror Mask senses The Evil One's power as hellspawn overtake Rick's mansion; with both David and Jennifer in peril, Rick is convinced to once more fight The Evil One's hordes. Players determine if Jennifer and David live or die by finishing levels under certain time limits, though their fates do not change the game's final fights. At the end fo the game, Rick encounters (and destroys) The Evil One, then learns that the Terror Mask used Rick to usurp The Evil One's position. After the Mask attempts to use the Dark Stone, Rick defeats the Terror Mask once and for all in the game's climactic battle.

[[folder:''Splatterhouse'' (2010)]]
Rick and Jennifer, students of infamous "parabiologist" Dr. Henry West, arrive at West's mansion to interview him. West sends a host of demonic creatures, all of which serve a ancient force known as [[EldritchAbomination The Corrupted]], to kidnap Jennifer and kill Rick. Rick receives a fatal wound from one of these creatures, but in the ensuing chaos, the Terror Mask falls out of an ancient sarcophagus and comes into contact with Rick's blood. The awakened (and sentient) mask tells Rick that it can heal him and help him get Jennifer back...and that he is out of options if he wants to live. Rick puts the mask on, but after it heals him, it transforms him into a hulking beast of a man--then tells him that until he saves Jennifer, he cannot take it off.
Rick's path of wanton destruction leads him through West's mansion and beyond as he fights The Corrupted's servants in all their twisted, disgusting forms to save Jennifer and stop Dr. West [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt before he can bring The Corrupted to Earth]]. Along the way, Rick travels through portals that fling him across time and space, revealing things that might happen if West succeeds and things that have already happened thanks to a StableTimeLoop. The most notable of these events the death of West's wife, Leonora, who West and The Corrupted had resurrected after her first death. Rick mistakes Leonora for Jennifer and saves her from being killed, then kills her in self-defense when she becomes a demon. West witnesses Leonora's death at Rick's hands and vows revenge, setting in motion his entire plan to unleash The Corrupted.
Rick eventually arrives at the exact time and place where West wants to bring The Corrupted out of Hell, and he manages to save Jennifer from being sacrificed for that cause. After a giant Corrupted emerges from a pit leading to Hell anyway, the Terror Mask reveals its own plan: It had Rick destroy every monster in his path so he would create a big enough "sacrifice" to unleash The Corrupted. But the Mask's plan is at least less evil than West's, as it wanted to release The Corrupted only so it could personally send the demonic force back to Hell in an act of petty spite. Rick defeats the giant Corrupted and closes the portal to Hell, but a stray spirit--implied to be Leonora--escapes at the last second...and possesses Jennifer.
