Orrin Grey

New pinned thread for the new year. Hi, I'm Orrin Grey, a Rondo Award-nominated author who writes about monsters, movies, and monster movies! (Also ghosts, ghouls, and other spooky stuff.) My website is at: orringrey.com

There are less than 10 copies left! Who will get the last one... and what will be left of them?

I wrote about the history and mysteries of "babysitter in peril" novels for @unwinnable.com's Halloween issue.

Some scary stories for Halloween, about Halloween:

A bunch of the local Halloween haunts are using "AI"‐generated "art" this year, so this is a good time to remind everyone of the low-tech beauty of the single greatest flyer for a local Halloween event ever produced in all the years I've been attending them:

22nd movie of Halloween: Finally got around to watching Over the Garden Wall. I know it's not exactly a movie, but it still counts.

All set up to sling books upstairs at 3 of Cups Bookstore in Olathe all afternoon!

21st movie of Halloween: Werewolf by Night (2022) | The MCU has clearly lost the thread, so it's time to just let Michael Giacchino helm as many Monsters Unleashed movies as he feels like.

This Sunday, I'll be slinging (and signing) books from noon to 5 at the 3 of Cups Bookstore & Commons right here in beautiful downtown Olathe as part of their Witchy Weekend!

I’m excited to share another look my Imp marionette/puppet and Maw theatre. I’m so happy with how it all turned out. ✹

There's only one week left till Halloween, which means that you're almost out of time to pick up the last few remaining copies of the Starlight Theater Halloween Double-feature, written by me and illustrated by @patricbates.bsky.social! When they're gone, they're gone!

20th movie of Halloween: Scream 7 (2026) | It's just a damn good thing that they stopped making Scream movies after 4 and never even thought about making another one.

Seventh read of Halloween: The cover is the best part of this Scooby-Doo choose-your-own-adventure book.

A couple days late starting the 13 Days of Halloween advent calendar I found at the thrift store.

19th movie of Halloween: Scream 3 (2000) | It should really be impossible for a movie with this cast AND a final act in an Old Hollywood mansion riddled with secret passages to be this bad.

18th movie of Halloween: Scream: The TV Series - "Halloween" (2016) | Technically a part of the Scream TV series, it's feature-length and standalone, which makes it effectively a TV movie. It's also set on Halloween.

"It's in the trees! It's coming!" One week from tonight, we'll be screening a very good movie on a very appropriate date at the Stray Cat Film Center!

New arrival: The beautiful Severin release of Autopsy of Jane Doe, which I admittedly wanted as much for @slimyswampghost.bsky.social's brilliant slipcase as for the film itself.

16th movie of Halloween: The Collingswood Story (2002) | The best part was seeing all the crap on everyone's desktops.

Sixth read of Halloween: Not even R. L. Stine's best novel *about a Halloween party.*

15th movie of Halloween: Seeding of a Ghost (1983) | So, when a ghost gets pregnant, they give birth to the Deadly Spawn. Makes sense.

I did some of the writing for this!

Today I learned that, in 1975, Milton Bradley made a version of their hit board game Operation that was, instead, haunted treasure hunt themed.

Boss: "What are zombies associated with?" Employee 1: "Well, we already used the graveyard for the ghost..." Employee 2: "... gingerbread?" Boss: "Brilliant! Print it!"

How do you tell a familiar story in a new way? The Cycle (2026) has one answer. Spoiler-free review:
