Earlier today, Hamster Corporation published Arcade Archives: Splatterhouse for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Namco's horror-themed beat-em-up arrived in arcades in November of 1988, placing players in the role of protagonist Rick Taylor as he dawns his paranormal Terror Mask.

Publisher Spacelab9's Splatterhouse (1988) vinyl soundtrack album ships in August, decorated with grisly custom cover artwork by Shagrat and extensive liner notes by Rob Strangman. Preorders for color variants have opened at distributor PixelCrib in Australia.

Splatterhouse Original Soundtrack is streaming on Spotify and YouTube Music. "Evil Cross & Nightmares (Stage 4)" from the hack-and-slash game, composed by Yoshinori Kawamoto and Katsuro Tajima of Namco Sounds, is streaming on the Spacelab9 SoundCloud channel.
