Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti was the second game in the Splatterhouse video game series, released only in Japan for the Famicom in 1989. The game itself differs from the other Splatterhouse games released in arcades and for the Sega Mega Drive/Mega Drive in that its characters are "super deformed". It also takes a comical approach, compared to the other games in the series, and even parodies some horror movies and incorporates other pop-culture references related with the genre into itself.
