Splatterhouse/Stage VII

Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right and jump over the three Flaming Logs that are rolling towards you; once you have done so, four more will drop down from the sky and start rolling towards you from their landing positions. Once you have jumped over them all, two Fire Demons will drop down from the sky and start jumping towards you; you must stand in a place where you know that they will not land on you and wait until they have jumped over you before you continue to the right and jump over an eighth Flaming Log that is rolling towards you. Once you have done so, two more Fire Demons will drop down from the sky and start jumping towards you; once again, you must stand in a place where you know that they will not land on you and wait until they have jumped over you before you continue to the right and jump over a ninth Flaming Log that is rolling towards you. Two more Fire Demons will then drop down from the sky and start jumping towards you as a tenth Flaming Log is rolling towards you; you must jump over the Flaming Log in order to land in a place where you know the Fire Demons will not land on you and wait until they have jumped over you before you continue to the right and jump over an eleventh Flaming Log that is rolling towards you. Four more Fire Demons will then drop down from the sky and start jumping towards you; yet again, you must stand in a place where you know they will not land on you and wait until they have jumped over you before you continue to the right and jump over a twelfth Flaming Log that has dropped down from the sky and is rolling towards you from its landing position. Six more Fire Demons in two groups of three will then drop down from the sky and start jumping towards you as three more Flaming Logs drop down from the sky and start rolling towards you from their landing positions; once again, you must jump over the Flaming Logs in order to land in a place where you know the Fire Demons will not land on you and wait until they have jumped over you before you continue to the right and come to a small wooden cross in the ground. The Terror Mask will send an orb of energy out to the cross, which will cause the Decaying Head to emerge from the ground while throwing rocks into the air; these rocks will injure Rick if they land on him, so you must stand in a place where you know that they will not land on you before you walk over to the Decaying Head and start to attack him. Once you have hit him ten times, he will recede back into the ground and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands before re-emerging from the ground on the left side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; once again, you must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land on you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten more times, he will recede back into the ground for a second time and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands again before re-emerging from the ground on the right side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; for a third time, you must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land on you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten more times, he will recede back into the ground for a third time and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands yet again before re-emerging from the ground on the left side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; for a fourth time, you must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land onn you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten more times, he will recede back into the ground for a fourth time and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands yet again before re-emerging from the ground on the right side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; for a fifth time, you must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land on you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten more times, he will recede back into the ground for a fifth time and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands yet again before re-emerging from the ground on the left side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; for a sixth time, you must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land onn you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten more times, he will recede back into the ground for a sixth time and attempt to grab you with his rotting hands yet again before re-emerging from the ground on the right side of the screen while throwing more rocks into the air; for a seventh time, you must must stand in a place where you know the rocks will not land on you before you walk back over to the Decaying Head and continue to attack him. Once you have hit him ten final times, he will recede back into the ground for good and a mysterious face will rise out of the hole he has left behind; nobody knows what it is, or where it came from, but it has been speculated that it is the spirit of Dr. West, which has finally been freed from wherever it had been imprisoned. You can now sit back and enjoy the ending, which shows Rick standing in front of the burning mansion and the Terror Mask (which has turned red) exploding into eight tiny pieces.

Once the credits have finished, the camera will pan down to the eight tiny pieces of the Terror Mask lying on the ground - which will reassemble themselves once the music has faded out. The newly-reassembled Terror Mask will then cackle evilly four times - and if you are using MAME to play this game (which you almost certainly will be unless you are a native inhabitant of the "Land of the Rising Sun"), you may wish to turn your computer's volumes down at this point if you do not want to risk early deafness. The word "END" will then appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen before the game goes into high-score mode; your score will most likely be the highest on the cabinet to date, so you should enter your initials at the top of the table with pride. Once you have done so, the game will go back into attract mode.
