New pinned thread because the old one was getting out of date. 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

Among the many things at #JacksHollow was a nice spread of spooky village dioramas.

Detail shot of a spooky village diorama. There is a lighted sidewalk flanked by glowing pumpkin lamps, surrounded by gravestones and people in costumes (or maybe actual monsters, who knows).
