-->We face the nightmare, we face the dread!
-->Ghost! Ghostfacers!
-->We face the faceless--WE FACE THE DEAD!
--->-- '''[[http://www.ghostfacers.com/music.html From the Ghostfacers' Theme Song]]'''

Harry Spengler and Ed Zeddmore started a [[http://www.hellhoundslair.com/ website]] on paranormal activity and filmed their own investigations of [[HauntedHouse haunted sites]] and other paranormal activity. This lead to their own reality television series and web series featuring their friends.

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Series/GhostHunters''.
* AllMenArePerverts: Ed, Harry, and Spruce mutually agree to fire the absurdly overqualified[[note]]He studied mysticism and the occult at Berkeley for four years![[/note]] intern Dave so they can hire [[BrainlessBeauty Ambyr]].
* BreakingTheFellowship: By the start of "#THINMAN", Maggie and Spruce have left the group in order to lead normal lives. Harry was on the way to doing the same thing, about to take a job with his fiancée's father. [[spoiler:Ed stopped him by making up the MonsterOfTheWeek. Harry's anger when he finds out causes him to leave the Ghostfacers]].
* ConfessionCam: In their titular episode, since they're filming a reality show.
* ADayInTheLimelight[=/=]LowerDeckEpisode: The aptly-titled [[Recap/SupernaturalS03E13Ghostfacers "Ghostfacers"]].
* LargeHam[=/=]PurpleProse: Ed and Harry in particular. Their dialogues and narrations are 95% cheesy quips, clichés, and overdone descriptions more befitting the goofy mystery flicks they're a parody of than the grittiness of the actual setting.
* TheLoad: Sam, Dean, and Castiel have this reaction to them: On realizing these ''are'' the people depicted in the Prophet Chuck's book:
--->'''Castiel:''' ''[looks to Heaven]'' Really? ''[[SurroundedByIdiots Seriously]]?!''
* NoFourthWall: Not out-of-universe, but the characters on the ShowWithinAShow "Ghostfacers" talk to their audience a lot.
* OccultDetective: Unlike hunters, they're content to merely investigate hauntings and collect evidence of the supernatural.
* ParanormalInvestigation: Their specialty, although they're almost totally incompetent at it.
* RealityShow: {{Parody}} of reality television.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Consider Sam and Dean to be "amateurs".
* ShowWithinAShow: "Ghostfacers" itself.
* SpinOff: Which can be watched at http://www.ghostfacers.com.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Constantly. They're convinced that they're the plucky soon-to-be-stars of the world of celebrity ghost hunters and that Sam and Dean are a couple of jerks getting in the way of their spotlight.

[[folder: Harry Spengler]]

!!Harry Spengler (Creator/TravisWester)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spanglersn_4410.jpg]]
-->''"What would [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] do? But Ed, she's stronger than me."''

* {{Foil}}: With his friend Ed for the Winchester brothers. Surprisingly PlayedForDrama in the episode "#thinman".
* {{Manchild}}: He was apparently growing out of this sometime before the events of "#thinman", having gotten engaged and found a steady, well-paying job, only for him to lose both after regressing to his childish obsession with being a ghost hunter.
* ShoutOut: His last name is a reference to the character Egon Spengler from ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''.

[[folder: Ed Zeddemore]]
!!Ed Zeddemore (Creator/AJBuckley)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dqg6ye_6880.jpg]]
-->''"This is our ticket to the big time. Fame, money, sex... with girls."''

* AmbiguouslyBi: Considers "sex... with girls" one of the appeals of fame and spends most of the spinoff series blatantly hitting on Ambyr, but also never clarifies whether or not his LoveConfession to Corbett was sincere. "#thinman" also suggests that [[spoiler: he might be in love with Harry, given that he responded to Harry's engagement by faking an urban legend so Harry would spend all his time with Ed again and ruin his relationship with his fiancée]].
* BasementDweller: Still lives with his parents as an adult and spends all his time pursuing his dreams of being a ghost hunter instead of getting a real job. This is PlayedForLaughs in his early appearances when he was in his mid-twenties at the oldest, but [[PlayedForDrama takes a turn for the tragic]] when "#thinman" shows us that he ''still'' hasn't matured over half a decade later even as the rest of his friends have grown up.
* {{Foil}}: With his friend Harry for the Winchester brothers. PlayedForDrama in the episode "#thinman".
* {{Manchild}}: PlayedForDrama in "#thinman". He couldn't accept that the rest of the Ghostfacers were moving on to other, more stable careers and hobbies, so he [[spoiler: made up an urban legend to manipulate Harry into staying with him, which quickly turned into a SnowballLie that destroys their friendship]].
* MySisterIsOffLimits: He has this attitude regarding Maggie and Harry.
* RedheadsAreUncool: Ginger and painfully dorky.
* ShoutOut: His last name is a reference to the character Winston Zeddemore from ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''.
* StonersAreFunny: Ed gets the giggles from smoking pot in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E17HellHouse "Hell House"]].

[[folder: Maggie Zeddemore]]

!!Maggie Zeddemore (Creator/BrittanyIshibashi)

* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to be the snarkiest of the group.
* HappilyAdopted: She's adopted (which Ed has no problem pointing out that she's not his biological sister).
* OnlySaneMan: Seems to be this among the group.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Abandons the Ghostfacers for a normal life.]]
* ShoutOut: Her family name is a reference to the character Winston Zeddemore from ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The Only female member of the group.

!!Dave (Creator/JakeBern)
The intern who replaces Corbett.

[[folder: Ambyr]]

!!Ambyr (Creator/MirceaMonroe)
The intern after Dave.

* BeautyToBeast: {{Downplayed}}, but she receives extensive facial scarring from her encounter with Janet Meyers.
* BrainlessBeauty: Hired entirely for her looks, and quickly proves to be ''extremely'' dumb.
* KindheartedSimpleton: She's stupid, but she's very affable and genuinely likes the nerdy, awkward Ghostfacers.
