The Screaming Mimi (デスノイド in the Japanese manual, portmanteau of "death" and "humanoid") was a monster introduced in Splatterhouse 2. They were fast and energetic monsters that often attacked in packs. They also frequently made scream-like sounds, hence the name. There were three kinds of Screaming Mimi; green, purple and pink. Green could be killed with one punch, Purple with two and Pink with three. A similar creature was found in Splatterhouse 3.
Variants[]
Green Mimi: The first kind of Screaming Mimi found. Leaps a lot during battle but needs one punch to be killed.
Purple Mimi: Can leap backwards and can attack multiple times. Needs two punches to be killed.
Pink Mimi: The strongest variant only found in one stage. Needs three punches to be killed.
New Mimi: Found in Splatterhouse 3, these creatures are similar to the Screaming Mimi. A few punches will take them down.
Triva[]
- The Morlocks from Splatterhouse (2010) act similarly to the Screaming Mimis, and might be a modern version of them.
- On the cover of Splatterhouse 2, The Mimi resembles The Alien.
- The screams of the Screaming Mimis has been compared to Michael Jackson's vocal clips in the 1990 game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. The Lake Monster also shares one of these screams during its boss battle.
