Shafou.com or simply Shafou was a Chinese screamer website that was registered in November 11th, 2015. Specifically, the website is a possible mirror of Killerjo.net.
Content
When opened, the website displays a close-up image of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist, accompanied by three amplified screams from The Maze which repeat every few seconds. The file used to display these contents is named "kjkj.swf," which is identical to the one used in killerjo.net. Because of this reason, the website is considered to be a mirror of 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 to: "A scary screaming website that opens suddenly", revealing its purpose. Similarly, the title of the webpage is "吓人的网站" which translates to "Scary website". The creator of this website was revealed to be "snsunzhen"[1], due to his actual Facebook account being linked above the screamer.
Furthermore, it is said that clicking the picture shares the website on the user's Facebook account; however, unless the user is signed in to Facebook, it will lead to the login page instead. The website uses obfuscated Base64 code, making it difficult to determine that it is a screamer.
History
November 5th, 2009 - 2011
In November of 2009, the website's content included numerous download links and a search bar. This is the original state of the shafou.com domain.

Later, on May 5th, the website updated with a link above the screamer that led the user to a blog which was written by the creator himself, stating that someone asked him to purchase the domain (among other things). After that, on October 1st, the website again updated and now directed the user to a Facebook link to the creator's account, as mentioned earlier. On March 2012, the website had a link to TMDChina.net, where the creator posted several blogs. Right next to the TMD link, there was a hyperlink that redirected to an Oranum chat. The blog website then moved to "blog.tmdchina.com".[3],

The file, interestingly, later changed to "s.swf", and the title changed to "SHAFOU" which rapidly switched from capital to lowercase. On February 2016, the website link to the creator's blog was added again. Later on, the website was replaced and turned into a redirect to Herobrine.com, presumably made by the same creator. However, next year, the website reverted to the same content, but with a picture of Regan MacNeil instead of a .sfw file. A link to Herobrine.com was added above. Herobrine.com at the time was a blog website, and the "Home" link redirected to Shafou.com, revealing that the author of Shafou.com and Herobrine.com are most likely the same person. After some time, the link to Herobrine.com was removed, and both of them later changed to have the same content after 2 years.
