See, even Janine is thrilled - and she doesn't excite easily... unless Egon is around.
It was pretty much a year ago that
Spook Central was put into a hiatus state due to Hurricane Sandy, and I feel that it's time it was brought back to life MWAHAHAHA! Even though I'm not where I should be in
regards to having a new computer, all of the new Spook Central staff are capable of posting to the site, so there's no reason that the site needs to stay dormant (or be relegated to just hurricane-related posts) just because of me.
Yes, Spook Central now has a staff.
No, not that staff. THIS staff: Matthew Jordan, Raffaele Ruffaldi, and Doreen Mulman. All are long-time, respected members of the Ghostbusters online community whom I've been friends with for quite a while, and who have helped me and Spook Central over the years. You can read more about them on the
Spook Central Staff page.
All three of these fine young eggs will post articles here or on the
Spook Central Facebook page as often or as little as they feel the need to. Pre-hurricane, I certainly wasn't making daily posts. Heck, I wasn't necessarily making weekly posts, either. Even if any of them posts once a month, or once every few months, it'll be a lot more often than I have this past year.
In fact, if you've been regularly visiting the
Spook Central Facebook page over the past year, you would have already seen a lot of posts from Matthew about the IDW comic book series, and all of the latest important happenings in the world of Ghostbusters. The
Spook Central Facebook page WILL have more activity than this blog because there are some things more suited to Facebook than the blog. So if you're not following the
Spook Central Facebook page you're missing out on a lot of cool stuff!
I can't promise you that you'll start seeing new Ghostbusters content starting tomorrow. Right now Matthew and Doreen have their own computer problems that they need to take care of before they can begin writing articles here. That said, I felt that it was about time I officially opened the door, so when we each have our issues resolved, we can walk right in and give you the Ghostbusters goodness you've come to know and love from Spook Central since August 1996.
As of right now, there shouldn't be any more Hurricane Sandy-related posts from me, though I will update the
Salvaging Project,
Computer Recovery, and
East Rockaway House posts as needed until each of those matters are finished with. For the time being, you'll find links to all of the hurricane stuff in the small infobox near the top right corner of this blog.

THE HALLOWEEN 2013 TREAT
When
Spook Central was put into a hiatus state a year ago, the last Ghostbusters "thing" added to the site was the Making Ghostbusters eBook PDF. It was meant to go up on Halloween 2012 as a special treat, but the hurricane had other plans. It ended up being added to the site in my absence a week later. Thankfully, this year's Halloween treat eBook PDF *IS* being given out on Halloween...and here it is:
As part of the
Ghostbusters PDF eBook Preservation Project, the Ghostbusters II novel by Ed Naha has been preserved and can be found on the
Ghostbusters II Books page. Major thanks to Matthew Jordan for scanning in the book, cleaning it up, and making the digital preservation possible - especially in light of the computer problems he's been having lately. A gallery of the book's images can be found on the
Spook Central Facebook page.
