'''So Intimidating!!!''' (Chinese: 好刺激啊!!!; pinyin: ''Hǎo cìjī a!!!'') is a [[screamer]] webpage hosted on coolce.com, a Chinese [[wikipedia:Personal_digital_assistant|personal digital assistant]] resource website, as a prank around 2002.
'''Crazy Ghost''' (Japanese: クレイジーゴースト, ''kurejī gōsuto''), also known as '''Red-Eyed Woman''' (Japanese: 赤目女, ''akame onna'') is an image of a pale-faced, red-eyed woman that is used in many screamers. In China, the image is known as 一只可愛的女鬼寵物 (Pinyin: ''Yī zhī kě'ài de nǚ guǐ chǒngwù'', “cute female ghost pet”).

[[File:SoIntimidating Links.png|thumb|The links that led to the screamer, indicated by the red rectangle.]]
The screamer page was located under the path /web/kongbu.htm.<ref>"kǒngbù" is [[wikipedia:Pinyin|pinyin]] for the word 恐怖, meaning "terror" or "horror".</ref> Links to this page appeared as early as on March 2002 on the homepage of the website. On the navigation bar under the website title, the last two items pointed to the screamer page:


<tabber>Link 1=
=== Korea ===
圣诞快乐
Crazy Ghost appeared on myhome.hananet.net as early as January 2002. Upon opening the page, the website would open a pop-up window with the image. It displayed the following text on the main page:
----
Merry Christmas
|-|Link 2=
超酷MM
----
Super Cool Girl
</tabber>


When the user hovers over the links, they also have different popup prompts:
<tabber>Korean=
 
殺生簿<br>
<tabber>圣诞快乐=
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myhome.hananet.net/~crazyghost/goto.htm"><br>
圣诞快乐!去看看吧,本站特制,一定让您忘不了!特别建议:一个人在半夜时看,有特别的……
위의 테그를 복사하여 테그가 실행되게 게시판에 써넣으시오. 그것이 한번이라도 실행되지 않으면 더욱 끔찍한 것을 보게 될것이다.

真正的超酷MM,看过后不敢说是终身难忘,起码是……懂了吧!当然看过后不许骂人!哈哈!特别建议:一个人在半夜时看,有特别的……
Copy the code above and paste it on the [[wikipedia:Bulletin_board_system|bulletin board]] for the tag to be executed. If not, you will see something even more dreadful.

A truly cool girl. After watching it, I dare not say that it will be unforgettable for a lifetime, but at least... you get it! Of course, you are not allowed to blame me after watching it! Haha! Special suggestion: view it alone in the middle of the night, there'll be something special...

== Content ==
The code exploited [[wikipedia:Code_injection|HTML injection vulnerabilities]] to immediately refresh the page and redirect the sender and anyone viewing the thread to the screamer.
Upon opening, /web/kongbu.htm displayed a [[GIF]] of a pale woman's face with blinking red eyes and blood dripping down the corner of her mouth. An audio file of woman's maniacal crying and laughing sound played in the background. Under the image, there was text in a red font that read:


<tabber>Chinese=
=== China ===
耐心点哦!您是第''<Access Counter>''位!刺激吧!后背凉了吗?
In October 2002, the image was published to two subpages of a private website belonging to a Chinese university student blog host, vip.6to23.com. Upon accessing the gui.htm page, the website immediately enters fullscreen mode, and open mm.htm as a popup. Upon opening, a dialog box that read 音量调到最大了吗?? ("Is the volume turned all the way up?") appeared.  
<br>
圣诞快乐!由 http://www.coolce.com 特别制作!
|-|English=
Be patient! You are the ''<Access Counter>''-th visitor! Isn't that intimidating! Are you getting chills down your back?
<br>
Merry Christmas! Specially prepared by http://www.coolce.com!
</tabber>


In addition, an embedded [[wikipedia:Javascript|JavaScript]] code made the webpage window fly across the screen.<ref>This is the same code used in Trojan.JS.Offiz, better known as Trojan.JS.YouAreAnIdiot. </ref> However, this behavior could only be observed on old versions of Internet Explorer.
After clicking the OK button, the page displayed the Crazy Ghost image, and played g.wav, an audio file consisting of a female scream. The page opened another dialog box when the user attempted to leave the page, which read 哟,怎么你的胆量还可以啊 ("Well, you've got a lot of nerve"). Unlike mm.htm, gui.htm had no image or sound file in its source code, and was likely designed to to redirect the user to mm.htm.<ref>thetuburo.com/2021/12/28/crazy-ghost-gazou</ref>


== Spread in Japan ==
=== Japan ===
This screamer gained popularity in Japan alongside [[Crazy Ghost]]. However, due to the encoding mismatch between [[wikipedia:GB_2312|GB 2312]] and [[wikipedia:Shift_JIS|Shift-JIS]], the Chinese text became garbled. As a result, this screamer is known as 挫缶爾亜<ref>Kanji in order is 挫 (''za'', "discourage"), 缶 (''kan'', "can") 爾 (''ni'', "you" or "thou"), 亜 (''a'', "Asia").</ref> (サカンナンジア, ''zakan'nanjia'') in Japanese circles,<ref>w.atwiki.jp/mustnotsearch/pages/1003.html</ref> which is likely the corrupted version of 好刺激啊 and has no meaning in either Chinese or Japanese.
In 2009, the image was reprinted on a Japanese website called 魔を祓う部屋 (''ma o harau heya'', "Room for Exorcising Demons") under the name クレイジーゴースト.<ref>w.atwiki.jp/mustnotsearch/pages/128.html</ref> A [[wikipedia:Moe_(slang)|moeified]] version of Crazy Ghost, called キャー子さん (Kyāko-san),<ref>Likely a combination of キャー (''kyā''), an exclamation of surprise, and 子 (''ko'') a common female name ending. </ref> was posted on [[wikipedia:Futaba_Channel|Futaba Channel]].<ref>dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%BC%E5%AD%90%E3%81%95%E3%82%93</ref><ref>According to w.atwiki.jp/2jiwiki/pages/592.html, the earliest record of キャー子さん dates back to January 8th, 2008.</ref>
