Shafou.com or simply Shafou was a chinese screamer website that was registered in November 11th, 2015, with HIChina, a domain registrar, to handle the reservation of the domain name.
When opened, the website contains a close-up picture of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist, accompanied by the 3 extremely loud screams from The Maze, it then repeats again, the file used is "kjkj.swf", might be an abbreviation to "KillerjoKillerjo", it is the same file used in Killerjo.net, and the site itself is just a specifically a mirror of the site: Killerjo.net.
The website has the meta keyword: "突然打开的吓人尖叫网站,整人的吓人网站" which (poorly) translates as: "A scary screaming website that opens suddenly", revealing its purpose, it has the title of the webpage as: "吓人的网站" which translates to: "Scary website", the creator was revealed to be "snsunzhen"[1], due to his actual Facebook account being linked above the screamer.
Additionally, clicking the picture is said to be shared on the the user's Facebook account, unless they are signed in to Facebook account, it will lead to its login page instead. The website has obfuscated Base64 code so it's hard to guess that its actually a screamer.
