FOR SPANISH-LANGUAGE "DRACULA": "ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE EVENTS IN THIS YEAR'S EDITION OF THE TRANSYLVANIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL...GARY LUCAS WAS FORMIDABLE—THE AUDIENCE WAS SPEECHLESS AS FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS LUCAS' FINGERS NEVER DISCONNECTED FROM HIS GUITAR...AN EVENT THAT NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET." ADEVARUL (Romania), 6/2010 "ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING EVENTS OF THE 9TH EDITION OF THE TRANSYLVANIA FILM FESTIVAL." MONITOROL DE CLUJ (Romania), 6/2010 "GARY LUCAS' PSYCHEDELIC GUITAR PLAYING BEFORE OVER 800 SPECTATORS IN FRONT OF BANFFY CASTLE MADE THE AUDIENCE FEEL THE POWER—AND THE AUDIENCE GAVE HIM A HUGE REWARD OF APPLAUSE AT THE END FOR PROVIDING THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE." KRONIKA (Romania), 6/2010 "THE US GUITARIST GARY LUCAS DEFIED THE GODS AND BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE ONE OF THE DARKEST AND MOST TERRIFYING CREATURES IN THE LITERATURE OF HORROR...DRACULA DID NOT NEED TO RISE FROM HIS COFFIN IN ORDER TO RETURN FROM THE REALM OF THE DEAD; HE DID IT THROUGH THE GUITAR OF THIS LEGENDARY MUSICIAN, WHO, LIKE THE MOST CELEBRATED VAMPIRE FROM TRANSYLVANIA, HAS BEEN 'CONDEMNED' TO IMMORTALITY.
