This is BIG. From esplatter.com: "In anticipation of the upcoming Olympics, horror movies are now officially banned in China. This is apparently so that no tourists will be offended when they are visiting the country for the 2008 Olympics.
In a statement posted on the official Web site of the General Administration of Press and Publications, film producers have been told that they have three weeks look through their tapes for "horror" and report it to authorities.
What does the administration define as "horror"? Anything that includes "wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and horror."
