Music CHRIS RICHARDS’S PICK
Be a dear, and dance!
In 2003, Matthew Dear emerged as the crown prince of minimal techno, grafting digital clicks and clacks to a sumptuous, bass-heavy pulse. This was electronic dance music at its most delicate — the kind that politely asked you to remove your shoes and tiptoe across the dance floor. Since then, Dear has forged into rougher turf. His latest album, “Black City,” explores the grimy corners of new wave and hard rock, where dancing shoes are a must. // 9 p.m. Sunday. DC9, 1940 Ninth St. NW. 202-483-5000. www.

An original count
Edward Cullen of the “Twilight” series and Bill Compton of HBO’s “True Blood” are certainly handsome vampires. But as far as freakish horror is concerned, neither has anything on Count Orlok, the hunchbacked, monstrous creature portrayed by Max Schreck in the 1922 silent classic “Nosferatu.” Presented at the AFI Silver as a Halloween tradition, it will be backed, as always, by a score performed live by D.C.’s Silent Orchestra. // 10 p.m. Friday, 7:30 and 10 p.m. Saturday. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. 301-495- 6720.
