Kirk Hammett on the Inspiration of the Horrific

Kirk Hammett has a new video out promoting his book Too Much Horror Business. Not only does the viewer get a look at some of Hammett’s pieces in his collection, but the commentary associated with it is of interest. Along the way Hammett notes the influence of Bob Wilkins, the Bay Area horror host of Creature Features, and Hammett also shares his feelings of being on the margins of society growing up, and of his collection providing a sense of nostalgia, energy and inspiration. I resonate with Hammett’s feelings that also echo those of others in fan or geek cultures related to the fantastic.
