Many of the Accidentals performed Kevin Saunders Hayes' original songs and lyrics to accompany the silent films Metropolis (first released in 1931) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923, starring Lon Chaney). These new settings for the films include both full orchestral scoring and rock instrumentals. The films with live performances of Hayes' scores were included in the Avignon/New York Film Festival.

Kevin Saunders Hayes has written the scores of over 25 feature films, and 15 stage musicals, and currently has three productions in development including Full Moon, an original story about a werewolf, Boxing Helena and The Toxic Avenger, both based on the original films.
