The Mask senses the ancient energy that it recalls from ages past and comes to Rick when he arrives home that night, saying that it will lend Rick its power to thwart its nemesis. Jennifer and David were chosen as the key components for the Evil One's resurrection during the night of the lunar eclipse. Meanwhile, due to the "forbidden seal" that was broken during the events of the previous game, a devilish cult of creatures emerge that have been secretly seeking the revival of a dark deity that once ruthlessly ruled the world. He has also bought a mansion in a Connecticut town (according to the English instruction manual). Rick has been able to put the memories of the Terror Mask behind him, becoming successful on Wall Street. Rick and Jennifer have since married and had a son named David.

The game takes place about five years after the events of Splatterhouse 2. It also bears a resemblance in gameplay to Double Dragon and Final Fight. Released in 1993, it is the third and final game of the original Splatterhouse trilogy.
