China Cracks Down on Things That "Go Bump in the Night"

China has added all things scary to its list of banned video and audio content in a crackdown ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

Offending content included "wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and horror," the administration said.

The new guidelines aim to "control and cleanse the negative effect these items have on society, and to prevent horror, violent, cruel publications from entering the market through official channels and to protect adolescents' psychological health."

I don't know about you, but I can see why they'd want to get porn and other stuff off the streets in an effort to clean up China before the Olympics, but horror movies and audio? C'mon, for real?
