At a sold-out show Oct. 19th 2018 at NYC's premier arthouse cinema The Metrograph, GARY LUCAS plays the first in a retrospective series of his live film scores. His original live solo guitar score for the legendary 1931 Spanish-language "Dracula"d. George Melford and starring Lupita Tovar and Carlos Villarias was debuted in Dec. 2009 at the Havana Film Festival, and since then Gary has played with the famously music-free sound film--a Spanish-language version filmed at night on the sets of Lugosi's Dracula"--at film festivals and venues all over the world, including Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, at the 2010 NY Film Festival in Lincoln Center, and at the Transylvania International Film Festival in Cluj Romania.
