Reviews"The book combines oddities such as the aforementioned Caligari poster, Roland Coudon's funeral procession tableaux for Frankenstein , and a Karoly Grosz Mummy poster that spotlights the film's human cast members with a lot of more common promos for pictures such as Dracula's Daughter , Barbarella , Mystery of the Wax Museum , and Island of Lost Souls . Hammett favors pre-sixties posters, though there is a scattering of later day ones for movies such as Alien , Rosemary's Baby , Blacula , and of course, It's Alive . It's an impressive collection." -- Psychobabble Blog

SynopsisOne of the world's premier collections of horror and sci-fi movie posters amassed, not altogether surprisingly, by the dark mind of Metallica's lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett. Before Kirk Hammett assumed the heavy metal mantle of one of the most successful and beloved bands in rock history, he was a geek for the imaginative universe of horror. This generously illustrated book highlights the finest examples from Hammett's personal collection--an astonishing trove of horror and sci-fi film posters that span the history of the genre. The guitarist credits his musical force to a lifelong fascination with the gothic fantasy developed in these films and their original posters. In this volume, several intriguing essays cover the history of the film poster, the brain's response to fear, and Hammett's own contributions to the world of the macabre., Kirk Hammett is the lead guitarist of Metallica, one of the most successful and beloved bands in rock history. But even before Hammett assumed the heavy metal mantle, he was a geek for the imaginative universe of horror. From the age of six, the guitarist gathered toys, ephemera, and memorabilia from his favourite films. This generously illustrated book highlights the finest examples of Hammett's personal collection of horror and sci-fi movie posters--an astonishing trove that spans the history of the genre.
