PLAY RETRO 40: Splatterhouse in Retro Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Two college students, Rick Taylor and Jennifer Willis, take refuge from a storm in West Mansion, a local landmark known as "Splatterhouse" for the rumors of hideous experiments purportedly conducted there by Dr. West, a renowned and missing parapsychologist. At the mansion, the two are attacked by demonic creatures that drag Jennifer inside and fatally wound Rick, leaving him for dead.

The horrifying theme of Splatterhouse may be inappropriate for young children...and cowards.
