SCARY MOVIE

If you think of Patrick Lussier’s film, "Dracula 2000," or Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 "Dracula" when you hear the word "vampire," it’s time you got a horror movie history lesson. For scary movie buffs, Tod Browning’s 1931 classic "Dracula" - starring Bela Lugosi - is must-see homework. And Celebrate Brooklyn is offering an opportunity to see the film on its big screen on July 27.

On Thursday, the film will be accompanied by the Kronos Quartet, which will perform Philip Glass’s score live. (While Browning’s film is a "talkie," it was not set to music.) Based on Bram Stoker’s novel, Browning’s version brings to life all of those familiar kooky characters: Mina Harker (Helen Chandler), Lucy Weston (Frances Dade), Renfield (Dwight Frye) and Professor Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan).

The screening of "Dracula" will be preceded by music from Slavic Soul Party.

Celebrate Brooklyn presents "Dracula," with Philip Glass’s score performed live by the Kronos Quartet, on July 27 at 7:30 pm at the Prospect Park band shell (Ninth Street at Prospect Park West in Park Slope). Suggested donation is $3. For more information, call (718) 855-7882 ext. 45 or visit the Web site www.celebratebrooklyn.org.
