DF Retro: The Splatterhouse Saga - Horror Brawling Revisited On Arcades & Consoles

Namco struck gold with the brilliant Splatterhouse - an arcade game that tapped into the horror movie genre that was so popular back in the 1980s. In this DF Retro episode, John Linneman, Audi Sorlie and a special guest revisit the entire series - from its brilliant arcade roots, through its many console ports and its eventual - and unfortunate - demise in the PS3/Xbox 360 era.
