Splatterhouse/Stage II

Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right and punch the two Red and Green Zombies that are walking towards you once and twice respectively to kill them before crouching down in order to pick up the Cleaver. Once you have done so, a Tortured Corpse in the background will spit out a puddle of vomit onto the ground; as with the two on the first stage, you can either jump over it or wait until it has evaporated before continuing to the right. Another Green Zombie and a Big Headed Zombie will then come walking towards you just before another Tortured Corpse in the background spits out a puddle of vomit onto the ground; you can either decapitate them or crouch down and kick them to kill them, but you should be mindful of the fact that the Big Headed Zombie's head will fly after Rick after its body has been destroyed until he either hits it or it flies up into the ceiling. Once the puddle of vomit has evaporated, another Red Zombie will approach you from behind; if you want to, you can crouch down in order to pick up the Wrench and throw it into its stomach to kill it, but if you would prefer to decapitate it with the Cleaver or just kick it, you do not have to. However, if you chose to, you should crouch down in order to pick up the Cleaver again before continuing to the right and coming to three more Red Zombies approaching you from the front while a sixth one approaches you from behind; once again, you can either decapitate them or crouch down and kick them to kill them. Seven Hanging Corpses will also be dropping down out of the first, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth holes in the ceiling at this point as six more Red Zombies approach you from the front and three more approach you from behind; once you have killed them all by decapitating them or merely crouching down and kicking them, another Big Headed Zombie will come walking towards you. Once again, you should be mindful of the fact that its head will fly after Rick after its body has been destroyed until he either hits it or it flies up into the ceiling. Rick will then drop the Cleaver and drop down the ladder to the second secction of the stage.

Once Rick has landed in the water, push the joystick up to make him grab the Stick that is mounted on the wall. Once you have done so, four Sludge Monsters will emerge from the water; you can either smash them against the wall or jump-kick them in the face to kill them. Five Spiked Balls will then float towards you from the right side of the screen, and a sixth one will float towards you from the left; once you have jumped over them all, six more Sludge Monsters will emerge from the water on either side of you. Once you have killed them all by smashing them against the wall or just jump-kicking them in the face, two more Spiked Balls will float towards you from the right side of the screen. Once you have jumped over them both, Rick will jump out of the water, drop the Stick and climb up the ladder to the boss room.

The boss room is possessed by a poltergeist, which will first shake the floor up beneath Rick's feet and cause Possessed Bottles, Candles and Cans to fall down from the ceiling on top of him; walking all the way to the right side of the room, crouching down and kicking out repeatedly is the best way to avoid getting hit by them. The Possessed Chair will then start bouncing across the room towards you; it will fly into the wall each time it is hit, and takes five hits to kill. Once you have killed it, one of the Possessed Knives (the one embedded in the bookcase on the left side of the room) will start flying towards you; it will fall to the ground each time it is hit, and takes three hits to kill. Once you have killed it, the other two Possessed Knives (the ones embedded in the walls) will start flying towards you simultaneously; once you have killed them, the Possessed Picture will start flying randomly around the room; it moves very quickly, and takes eight hits to kill. Once you have killed it, the poltergeist will escape through the window on the right side of the room, and the chandelier will fall down from the ceiling; you should make sure that Rick is all the way to one side of the room at this point, as the chandelier will instantly knock him out if it lands on him and force him to fight the possessed items all over again.
