Or maybe some sort of wolf spider.

Yes, Wolf Spider but I assume it is dead and just coincidentally stuck in the web of another spider because live ones don't behave like that. Wolf Spiders are hunters and don't make webs.

AllGold, this one was definitely alive. It was hanging down on a "thread" about 8 inches long, and up above it, where the thread met the actual garage door, you could see more web, some little web balls, which I assumed were either babies in "cocoons" waiting to be born, or maybe something it would be eating later, and there was also another very small spider on the webbing. I assumed it was either a baby or its mate (I figured the smaller one would be the male, since that's how it seems to often go).
At first, I did think it was dead, but after watching it for a minute or so, it moved around, definitely alive. Maybe, though, it *was* stuck in the web, and the web was that of the other spiders. It was soooo big, though, it's hard to imagine it was stuck.
