Just a small update today. Rodrigo has provided a scan of a page from Mega Drive Advanced Gaming, which can be found here. Also, my books have finally been released! You can order them here, and I've individually linked them on the main page.
10/31/2024 - 8:40 A.M. EST:
Happy Halloween! Got a lot for you today.
First up, I've added new fanart from my daughter Katie, as well as a piece of fanart from Katie Lynn Bulmer, in the fanart section. Right next to that, in the humor section, you'll see some humorous artwork from myself that was never posted here before, plus a piece by an unknown artist. I've added scans of the articles from NG Magazine for Wanpaku Graffiti, Splatterhouse Part 2 and Splatterhouse Part 3, thanks to Rodrigo. These can all be found in their respective sections. There's a new piece of trivia in the Trivia section, as well as a great look at the Jennifer and Master Dead soft vinyl toys from Unbox and Retroband toys, AND pictures from Wonder Festival 2024 in the Miscellaneous section. I've also added links to new videos by Sega Lord X and A Question of Character to the YouTube Videos section. For that matter, I was asked to guest on episode 6 of the Unidentified Flying Obsession podcast, "HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - A Look at the Splatterhouse Series." Check that out here. Thanks again for having me as a guest, Kyle!
Also, if you're unaware, this is the third anniversary of the day I reopened West Mansion, after being gone for a decade. So, happy anniversary West Mansion, and we'll see what the future holds for you.
However, this is also the day that so many of you have been anticipating, as the first public Mega Splatterhouse demo is HERE! Grab it here, and enjoy!

It's been a very interesting month.
First off, the bad news. My Kickstarter did not make its funding goal by October 17th. However, the books are still being released! If you're interested in getting physical copies of any of them, I'll be posting the link here when they go live, and if you're interested in digital copies, email me at the site's submissions address for details.
There are a couple of new items I've posted. First, pictures of an NEC Splatterhouse mug, which you can see here. Also, Rusty Shackles has drawn a new piece of fanart, a Jennifer pinup, that you can see here (SFW).
Now the good news. Monster Bath Games announced on September 28th that they were working on a port of the arcade Splatterhouse to the Sega Genesis, using the Scorpion Engine! Needless to say, I got into contact with them pretty quickly, and long story short, I'm now a consultant on the game, as well as a tester! As such, I've set up a dedicated page for the game here. Check here or Monster Bath's Twitter page for all updates from here on out.
I did a world premiere livestream yesterday of the Mega Splatterhouse demo on the Dire & Bette channel, which you can check out below. Also, Sega Lord X uploaded a video about it, which you can also check out below.
9/17/2024 - 11:33 A.M. EST:
As of 11 AM this morning, I've launched a Kickstarter for my books! Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman: The Final Edition, Digital Archaeology: Retrogaming Recollections, Eating Candy in Outer Space and Tales From The Third Moon will be released soon, and I'll need everyone's help to do it, whether you back the Kickstarter or share the link. This means a lot to me, and to everyone that helps, you have my eternal thanks.

In my last update a few days ago, I said there wasn't much going on. Shows how fast things can change!
Video footage of the cancelled Wanpaku Graffiti sequel, Splatter World, has surfaced thanks to a Japanese Famicom historian, Orochi! The game was very far along, slated to be released three months after this promotional video was distributed, so there's a chance that a prototype is out there... which means it could be found and dumped one day.
Until that day happens, though, check out the new page for Splatter World that I created, and check out the video below.
5/25/2024 - 11:08 A.M. EST:
Sorry for the lack of updates, but there hasn't been a lot going on. I should have some more stuff to post soon, though.
In the meantime, here's something: early last year, Kung Fu Man discovered some previously unseen Jennifer pictures from Splatterhouse (2010) in a recently (at the time) leaked beta of the game, dated August 2010. I've saved them here: WARNING: VERY NSFW. Just look for the filenames that have "cut1," "cut2," and "cut3" in them.
2/10/2024 - 1:15 P.M. EST:
Got a small update for you today: turbocr1ck3t has donated pictures of some rare Turbografx-16 media: a promotional brochure from 1990, and pictures of Turbo Edge magazine dating to about the same time. Check those out here, under "Advertisements." I also changed around the front page a little, in preparation for my upcoming book release (details TBA).
Also, if you're following West Mansion on Facebook, you may have noticed that I recently returned to co-admin the page. Mr. Splatter and krims0n have done a fine job over the past five years, but I felt it was finally time for me to go back.
1/30/2024 - 1:00 P.M. EST:
