@orringrey.com I’m heading to a local horror bookstore in Portland and I want to preorder your new short story collection but now I can’t find the name of it. Am I dreaming that you have a new collection coming out this year?

This is such bs. I’ve never meet a person, right or left, who didn’t want the Epstein files to be released. Since he was arrested, everyone I’ve talked to has wanted his files released. This is just straw man fallacy. This is not a political issue. Release the files & prosecute those involved.

My review of Resident Evil 8 after finishing it tonight: I don’t know if it’s the best re but it might be my fav. The doll house is such perfect horror. I’ll always be a silent hill over re guy; but this game is fantastic. Esp for those who want some more horror with their re action. #residentevil

Such a good summary of 25 years of musical excellence. I wish they would stay, but Alas they must go. #murderbydeath

Every year I read the Declaration of Independence on July 4th and when I get to the list of grievances I am always amazed how well the list of grievances lines up with some shit republicans have tried to pull. #independenceday #july4th

I’m doing my first playthrough of Resident Evil 8 and House Beneviento is seriously no joke. Raised the tension to 11. Love it when horror makes me feel that scared. #residentevil #residentevilvillage #HorrorGames

Proud to have been apart of this. Portland does not care for that Mr. Trump or his fascist cronies.

We literally already covered this in 1 Samuel 8. #Nokings #Nokingsportland #abolishIce

So proud of Pasadena. I miss you, my love.

Since this will likely become a thing. Los Angeles friends, don’t forget to invoke the third! 🤣

New Silent Hill and new Resident Evil being released in the next 8 months. Atheists are in shambles as this is proof of a loving god. #horrorvideogame #horrorgames #silenthill #residentevil

“He’s not really intune with his emotions but she is so maybe it’ll balance out.” “God, that’s going to be a disaster. I love this show so much.” #marriedatfirstsight

Eating two la street dogs at midnight outside a concert venue after four hours of headbanging is soul filling. Highly recommend.

I’ve never been a fan of the “he was a man of his time” argument. So I recently read “William Clark: Indian Dipolomat” by Jay Buckley who takes on the notion that Clark was a “friend of the Indians” because Clark was a lot nicer when it came to Indian relations than his contemporaries.

Watching all of these other countries’ left wing parties win their elections reminds me so much of when all my friends had dates in highschool and I spent my Friday nights alone. Totally happy for you guys. Wish it was me…

This is a fantastic interview. The element of Conjure in the film was fascinating and it’s so satisfying when a movie gets religion right.

We can worry about if we paid too much next year. Tonight we celebrate! We just got the best player in the draft.DUUUUVVVVVAAAALLLLLL!!!! #jaguars #dtwd #duuuval

Three days later and I still haven’t stopped thinking about Ryan Coogler’s #Sinners. I need a rewatch. I’m still awestruck by it. There’s so much to unpack in this film and I haven’t even been able to scratch the surface. Please send me all of your takes. I need to feed off of them. #horrormovies

Just got back from #Sinners. I was so taken by this movie. It is my early front runner for fav of the year. *small spoiler* the scene with preacher boy singing and time past and future come together is why I love the movies. It had my giddy, smiling from ear-to ear. #horror #horrormovies

Me next week during the draft: “good 40 time, solid intangibles, solid arm length. But has he sold his soul for athletic success? No? Pffft. Let the Titans have him.”

Liberation Day? Liberation from what? Materialism since I can’t afford to own anything anymore.?

The people that said that the president has no control over the economy clearly didn’t anticipate a pres starting a trade war w/ the entire world. Trump will crash America and the dems will win in 28 only to lose in 32 because the dems recovery wasn’t fast enough. And the cycle of hell continues.

Let that man rest!

Two days two different Lewis and Clark museums (not to mention the awesome Columbia river maritime museum). My fourth grade inner child is in heaven. Lewis and Clark will always be my academic first love. #lewisandclark #corpsofdiscovery #astoria #capedisappointment #fortclatsop

Once again I was able to have to honor of being a guest on the Fear of God podcast. We talked about one of my favorite movies from last year: In a Violent Nature. It would mean a lot to me if you listened and let me know what you think. #inaviolentnature #horrormovies #fearofgod #horrorandtheology

@bgrafius.bsky.social were you the one who recommended the coffee table to me? Because I need to Venmo you my therapy bills.

Watching an episode of House Hunters where the couple wants to buy a house in Northern California with an attached roadside motel. Mo Fos watched Psycho and thought “that’s the life we want for our three kids!” #horror #househunters #worriedfortheson

“Which magazines sell the most copies?” “Those with girls on the front covers and no front covers on the girls.” Great advice from one of the great movies. (Peeping Tom, 1960) #horror #horrormovies #protoslasher

This is an excerpt from @orringrey.com short essay on why horror doesn’t necessarily have to scare you. But this paragraph might explain why I’ve been using horror as a comfort blanket since November 5th. I’d choose a monster story over the NYT any day. (Glowing in the Dark, pg.36)

Watched the Apology (2022) tonight and what a great example of acting pushing a movie forward. It’s a rough topic but I thought the actors really did it justice. Probably not an annual Xmas rewatch but definitely worth the watch. #horror #holidayhorrormovies #horrormovies

Carnage for Christmas: The acting is horrible, the script is horrible, but the visual effects are cool and I enjoyed the story. One of those so bad that it’s good movies. I could totally see this becoming a cult classic. The type of horror movie you watch with your friends for a good laugh.

Disciple Seminary Foundation asked me to write an advent reflection for their advent series. So of course I talk about ghost stories. mailchi.mp/dsf.edu/lela...

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again for Blue Sky. A movies quickest way to my heart is cinematography. And a cinematographer’s quickest way to my heart is through a long one shot take. So hell yeah to the Smile 2 opening scene. #smile #horror #horrormovies

@letterboxd.social really needs a “you’re confusing this actor for another” section. These hallmark Christmas movies always have me going “that actor reminds me of a completely different actor but I can’t place it!”
