Metallica’s Kirk Hammett Picks His Top Five Zombie Movies
With one too many stories about face eating — and isn’t one story about face eating one too many? — making the news lately, the words on everyone’s lips these days are zombie apocalypse. And don’t just take our word for it.
“You know it does seem like a zombie apocalypse is coming,” says Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, “like we’re at the very beginning of a zombie invasion. I would imagine this is how it starts and just never stops.”
It seems only fitting then that this year’s inaugural Orion Music + More festival will feature a special tent called Kirk’s Crypt, where the guitarist will be putting on display his vast array of horror movie memorabilia.
“I have such a huge collection, I just thought now what the right time to share it with everyone,” says Hammett, referring both to Kirk’s Crypt and a new book the guitarist just finished, which showcases his immense collection of vintage horror movie posters, tour posters, monster toys, artwork and more.
With Metallica’s first ever festival — not to mention a potential zombie outbreak — looming, we couldn’t think of any better time to pick Kirk’s brain about his favorite zombie flicks of all time.
The musician named off a handful of his favorite zombie films for the magazine, including ‘Dawn of the Dead.’Other favorites include ‘Night of the Living Dead,’ ‘Re-Animator,’ ‘Evil Dead,’ and ‘White Zombie.’
-‘Dawn of the Dead' - "'Dawn' was Cliff Burton's favorite movie, therefore it's one of my favorite zombie movies."
- ‘Night of the Living Dead'
- ‘Re-Animator’ - "One of my all-time favorite movies."
- ‘Evil Dead’ - "Evil Dead has the undead in it, but are they zombies or is that more Satanic possession?"
- 'White Zombie'
So what’s Kirk’s gameplan if the zombies invade? “Very high walls,” he says, “Very high walls.”
