The label's output is primarily physical, with the website organizing releases into 12" vinyl, 7" vinyl, and CD formats, alongside T-shirts and other merchandise. This format focus reflects the label's orientation toward collectors and the traditional independent music market. Spooky Records maintains a direct-to-consumer presence through its website, including a mailing list for news and updates. As a Melbourne-based independent label, Spooky Records is part of the city's long tradition of alternative and underground rock music. Its catalog emphasizes gritty, raw, and often confrontational rock sounds, and it has served as a platform for both emerging local acts and more established figures in the Australian music scene. The label remains active, with its website continuing to promote releases and artist news.

Spooky Records was established in 1999 in Melbourne, Australia, according to the label's official website. It emerged within the city's vibrant independent and alternative rock scene, positioning itself around what it calls "the seamier side of Rock 'n Roll and Independent music." From its early years, the label focused on physical releases—12" vinyl, 7" vinyl, and CDs—catering to a niche audience of rock and roll enthusiasts and collectors. Over the following decades, Spooky Records built a catalog that mixed releases by its core roster of artists with albums by a broader set of Australian and international underground acts.

The label has maintained a direct relationship with its audience through its website, which features sections for artists, vinyl and CD releases, T-shirts, news, and contact information, as well as a mailing list. Its ongoing activity and periodic news updates indicate that it remains an active independent label. While detailed financial or ownership information is not publicly available, Spooky Records operates as a private, independent entity rather than a subsidiary of a major label group.
