Rick Taylor

Rick Taylor is the wearer of the Terror Mask from ***Splatterhouse*** and appeared in the Fiction V. Fiction episode, Ash Williams vs Rick Taylor, where he fought Ash Williams from ***Evil Dead***.

## History

As a child, Richard "Rick" Taylor sensed the presence of the Corrupted, making it all the harder for him to be courageous. His fears managed to fade when he met his previous mentioned girlfriend, Jennifer, who people deem too good for the geeky metalhead Rick. In his college years, he went with Jennifer to interview Dr. West for parapsychology since they were going to a concert afterwards where Rick would propose to her. However, Dr. West ruined all of Rick's chances by kidnapping her. As he felt his life slip away, knowing that he couldn't stop Dr. West, Rick head the voice of the Terror Mask, which offered Rick the chance to save Jennifer if he put on the mask. The Terror Mask is an ancient relic with unspeakable power, and so Rick could save his life and Jennifer, he put on the Terror Mask. And doing so, the Mask basically injected Rick with his power, turning Rick into a walking hunt of regenerative meat so he could kick Dr. West's ass and save his girlfriend.
