Splatterhouse (スプラッターハウス, Supurattāhausu) is a 1988 beat 'em up slasher arcade game developed and published by Namco. It is also subsequently the title of the entire series of games released in home console and personal computer formats. Due to its violent nature as well as some questionable enemies, the TurboGrafx-16 port of Splatterhouse had a parental advisory warning of sorts printed on the front of the box that read "The horrifying theme of this game may be inappropriate for young children... and cowards."
