Spook Central Has A New Domain Name - Spook-Central.com

For many years, Spook Central has spearheaded fan efforts to preserve rare and out-of-print Ghostbusters materials so that pieces of the franchise's history are available to all, and are not lost to time. The natural progression of that is Spook… more »
New Spook Central Shop Officially Opens
I've been selling online for over 25 years, since around 1999/2000. First it was person-to-person through e-mail (with physically-sent money orders as payment). Later, it was through Yahoo Auctions and eBay, and afterward, I wrote up a very plain shop… more »

This month marks the 28th anniversary of Spook Central. It was way back in the ancient times of August 1996 that the site launched. Since I never kept track of the exact day the site went live, when I note the anniversary, I always do it on the first of… more »

Spook Central Milestone - A Blog Was Born
It was 15 years ago today, on May 19, 2004, that the front page "posting board" (aka "web journal") was added to Spook Central. Today they're called blogs, but back then it was a "web journal". At least that's what Bravenet, the supplier of free… more »
Spook Central Merchandise Now Available

Spook Central Patch Now At Ghost Corps Headquarters

New Spook Central Audio & Video Players
For the past 10 years all video and audio files on Spook Central were played using a Flash plugin-based multimedia player. That was the ideal way to do it at the time, but since then, Flash has fallen out of favor (to put it nicely). If you've been… more »
Spook Central's April Fools Day 2017 Prank
I don't do April's Fools pranks every year, lest you be able to predict it coming. This year I decided to do one after seeing the site for the band Spook (located at SpookBand.com) pop up in search results for "Spook Central" because their main page… more »

It was never meant to be a regular thing. I'm kinda surprised that it still is. Several lifetimes ago, way back in 2012, Matt and I planned Spook Central's first "Halloween Treat": the Making Ghostbusters PDF. It was actually posted a week after… more »
The Corner Penthouse of Spook Central
Pull up a chair and settle in at The Corner Penthouse of Spook Central. http://www.thecornerpenthouse.tk The new, yet not new, sister site of Spook Central, that's both separate from it, yet a part of it at the same time. This is where I will be posting… more »
Spook Central 20th Anniversary
Where the Hell does the time go? It was 20 years ago this month, way back in August 1996, that I created Spook Central. Yes, TWO WHOLE DECADES and still going! That means that Spook Central is the longest-running Ghostbusters website on the internet.… more »
BBC Online Interview About Ghostbusters Reboot - With My Participation

Lookee what I received in the mail today. Yup, it's one of those super-awesome "Ghost Corps Cadet" pins. If I still had any of the 15th anniversary Spook Central patches I had made back in 2011, I would have sent them one in return. I'm looking into… more »

All Images Redone From Ghostbusters 1 & 2 Blu-rays
By Paul Rudoff on Sep. 23, 2015 at 11:30 PM , Categories: Spook Central, Ghostbusters 1, Ghostbusters 2
Overall, I think the two Blu-ray discs released in 2014 for both films are the best available copies of the films. When I need to pull new images, I tend to go with my Blu-ray rips over my DVD rips, so it seemed fitting that I replace all of Spook… more »
