The Terror Mask was an artifact owned by Dr. However, since the power of the mask is still with him, Rick defeats the spirit once and for all. The spirit leaves the Mask, inhabiting the remains of the Evil One and attempts to destroy Rick. By the end of the game, it is revealed that the mask's spirit has been manipulating Rick all along, waiting for the chance to take over this dimension. When demonic forces of evil invade Rick and Jennifer's home due to the same breaking of the seal required to save Jennifer's life, the Terror Mask comes to Rick, once again offering the power he needs to fight back. In the English and 2010 releases, Rick instead contemplates the mask's existence, saying as long as it exists, the same disaster could happen time and time again. In the original Japanese release, the mask ominously tells Rick not to forget that he removed the "forbidden seal" to do the deed. With their mission accomplished, the mask leaves Rick to be alone with Jennifer. After rescuing Jennifer from the dead's grasp in the void, they all escape the mansion as its island sinks into the lake. Inside, Rick finds a diary belonging to " West" that describes the method of opening a gate to the land of the dead. Rick begins his journey to Shin Splatterhouse, having been promised that there's a way to bring Jennifer back. When Rick returns to the ruins of West Mansion, the Terror Mask is there waiting for him. The Terror Mask's spirit contacts Rick telepathically, telling him Jennifer isn't necessarily dead and there's still a chance to save her. As the game is a vague prequel with questionable canonicity, it's unknown if this is even the same mask, as it is also unnamed much like its predecessor's original Arcade release. The mask then comes to life and demonstrates some telekinesis for the player, leaving it open as to whether it was really an act after all. At this point, Rick finally takes the mask off, revealing his face for the first time in the series before walking off. The game has a bit of a joke ending where the director of the game comes up and says it'll make a good movie. The mask is not given a clear purpose in this game - it's simply worn by Rick at the beginning of the game without context, and Rick keeps it on for the rest of the game. This does not happen in the TurboGrafx-16 version, but in that version the mask is given a name and small backstory - it's known as the Terror Mask (Hell Mask in Japanese), and is an ancient relic previously owned by Dr. But after the credits, it magically reassembles itself and laughs. After destroying the mansion, the mask seems to detach itself and fall to pieces. The mask mysteriously attaches itself to a mortally wounded Rick, guiding him in his search for Jennifer.
