Splatterhouse (handheld) was a portable game. While it wasn't exactlly like Splatterhouse (1988), the gameplay was similar. On the first level of the stage is a room with shelves, and it's nothing but bats as enemies and knives to jump over. If you're used to playing Handheld games you will know that you need to strike the monster before it gets near your area or you lose the game. The same goes for dodging oncoming things from behind, you have to jump over it before it comes near you or you lose the game.
