About ecto-web.org

In the 2000s, this domain was home to a Ghostbusters fan portal that hosted Spook Central, "The Ghostbusters Companion." Today ecto-web.org is Ecto-Web, an independent fan site about horror movies and horror video games, unrelated to that earlier project.

01The Ghostbusters fan portal and Spook Central: what it was and where it lives now

A fan portal and its best-known guest

During the 2000s, ecto-web.org was a Ghostbusters fan portal. It had its own sections on the movies, the games, the soundtrack, The Real Ghostbusters, international releases and fan art. Its best-known guest was Spook Central, "The Ghostbusters Companion," a fan site created by fan Paul Rudoff in August 1996. Spook Central lived at ecto-web.org/~spookcentral from about 2003 until about 2010, then moved to other hosts.

What Spook Central was known for

Rudoff's site earned its reputation through detailed fan research into the Ghostbusters films and the TV series The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer! and Extreme Ghostbusters. Readers came for its filming locations, home video comparisons and episode guides, along with news coverage of Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009).

One of its most-linked pages covered the theme song dispute. Shortly after the 1984 film, Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr., saying the "Ghostbusters" theme copied "I Want a New Drug." The case was settled out of court in 1985 with a confidentiality agreement. Parker later sued Lewis for discussing it on VH1's Behind the Music in 2001.

Its standing and where it lives today

English Wikipedia articles cite Spook Central as a source at its later address, including the entries on Huey Lewis and the News, Ghostbusters II, The Real Ghostbusters and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. The Ghostbusters Fandom wiki credits its filming-location research. Pages from its ecto-web.org years are still linked from fan sites and forums today.

In 2026 Spook Central celebrated 30 years, and it is described as the longest-running, still-active Ghostbusters website. It is active at spook-central.com and run by its creator. It is a separate site with no connection to this one.

02What you'll find on ecto-web.org today

Ecto-Web covers horror movies and horror video games, written by fans for fans. The link to the domain's past is the subject matter. This address grew up as a fan home for a ghost-hunting horror comedy, and the current site carries that same fan spirit into horror films and games more broadly. Ecto-Web is not affiliated with Spook Central, its creator or the Ghostbusters rights holders. Readers looking for Spook Central should visit spook-central.com. Ecto-Web is run by an independent team.
