Rudolph Grey

As an electric guitarist, Grey has recorded and performed with Mars,[1] under his own name, as well as leading various ad hoc ensembles called The Blue Humans.[2] His music draws on no wave and free jazz.

Rudolph Grey is a musician and writer.

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

In 2001, Grey rediscovered a copy of Ed Wood's final feature-length film, Necromania, which had been presumed to be lost.[3]
