Grey is also a motion picture historian and has written Nightmare of Ecstasy (1992), a biography of Ed Wood, the director of notoriously awful cult films. Tim Burton's film Ed Wood was based on Grey's book.

In 2001, Grey rediscovered a copy of Ed Wood's final feature-length film, Necromania, which had been presumed to be lost, in a Los Angeles warehouse.<ref>New Yorker: Weird Love</ref>

In 2011, Grey produced a one-hour documentary called Dad Made Dirty Movies, about the life and career of 1960s porn film producer Stephen Apostolof, detailing his co-productions with filmmaker Ed Wood.<ref name="The Age">[1], Elliott, Tim (2011-09-09).
