In Splatterhouse, you are Rick Taylor.  Rick and his lovely girlfriend, Jennifer, are college students majoring in parapsychology (man, if only you could do that in real life!).  The two decide to stop by the West Mansion to visit the former home of the parapsychologist Dr. West, who had mysteriously disappeared years before.  Unfortunately, the mansion is nicknamed "Splatterhouse," as nobody who has entered has ever escaped and lived to tell the tale.  When they get to the mansion, a sudden storm hits, and they're forced to take shelter in the house.  As soon as they do, it goes dark, there's a sudden flash of lightning, and something kidnaps Jennifer and knocks out and nearly kills Rick.  When he regains consciousness, there's an ancient mask (the "Terror Mask") attached to his face, which gives its user unknown power.  Rick resolves to use this power to find and rescue Jennifer.
