Kirk Hammett is best known as the guitarist with Metallica. He joined the thrash icons in 1983, replacing future Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine on the eve of recording their debut album, Kill ’Em All, and has appeared on each of the band’s albums since.
But Hammett is also a noted horror connoisseur. Not only does he have an extensive collection of horror memorabilia, including a huge collection of vintage movie posters, but he’s published a book, Too Much Horror Business, and founded his own horror convention, Kirk Von Hammett's Fear FestEvil, launched in 2014.
