Of course, other game fan sites are celebrating Halloween, too. Here’s a few other places you should check out:

VGJunk
has a fresh page all about Splatterhouse 2 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
Games-in-Bits has an excellent feature on some creepy urban legends in video games, including the first video game character to kill actual people.
Arcade Quartermaster also added a Splatterhouse shrine along with one for House of the Dead! It’s a creature double feature of foreboding abodes, so check it out!

  1. brilliant new work james, lovin skeletor and that rhino piece is great

  2. Thanks, WMX!
    I was going to make an ’80s toy/cartoon update in August that Skeletor would’ve been in, but I had too many other things to work on. I made another toy-related sprite, but I might save that one for a Christmas update.

  3. Altered Beast and Splatterhouse customs are so spot-on.

    Great job as always, and thanks for the mention. :D

  4. Thanks, Shadi!
    You really did Splatterhouse some justice with the new shrine!
