According to sources, the content of the annual Halloween special show "Scaremonies" at Ocean Park, including the mentioning of the words "Hong Kong", was criticized by pro-China supporters and subsequently censored. The original version of the show was released on September 21, receiving positive responses from the spectators.
It was said that the show was largely censored after September 22, as the Liason Office of the Central People's Government, PRC's office in Hong Kong, pressurized the Park management. This came after pro-China supporters criticized the political satirical show on China's Weibo.
The attack on the show continued in pro-China facebook groups and media. Director and actor Wong Jum-sum quitted his position on September 26.
