Orion Music + Horror Crypt?!

New details have surfaced about Metallica’s new annual music, arts and lifestyle festival called Orion Music + More. In a recent online video interview, guitarist Kirk Hammett revealed that the fest will also feature an exhibit celebrating classic horror films.

Titled Kirk’s Crypt, the showcase will feature Hammett’s personal collection of rare horror movie memorabilia, classic comics, monster toys, posters, props and much more. Hammett, who’s been collecting horror memorabilia since he was six years old, is looking forward to sharing his collection with fans at the festival.

“I would like to think that people would recognize the cultural significance of this stuff and I hope that it attracts people who are just like-minded and share similar passions,” says Hammett. “I hope they can come in to my little zone and…really have good time checking it out and seeing everything and interacting with all this stuff.” More details about the event will be released in the coming weeks.

The inaugural Orion Music + More festival will make its debut June 23-24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ. For more details, head over to OrionMusicAndMore.com.
