Splatterhouse is a beat 'em up arcade game, released by Namco.

Splatterhouse and its sequels are considered a pioneering series in the horror genre of gaming, which would later lead to the creation of the genre known as “survival horror”. Due to its violent nature as well as some questionable enemies, Splatterhouse was the first game to ever get a parental advisory disclaimer in 1988 (four years before Midway's Mortal Kombat would be released).
