Splatterhouse 2 is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game released for the Sega Genesis. Set three months after the original game, players control Rick as he battles through grotesque monsters and traps in a haunted mansion. The Terror Mask tempts Rick to return to the house, claiming he can save Jennifer, who is in danger. Ultimately, Rick confronts his fears to rescue her, leading to the house's destruction.
Three months have gone by since the events of the first game. The Terror Mask, which has reformed after breaking at the climax of the first game, appears to Rick and repeatedly tempts him to `go back to the house`, telling him that Jennifer `doesn't have to die`. It closes by telling Rick `You need me.`. Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer, and the House sinks into the bottom of the river.
