Organizers report: "Doing our part to keep things decidedly dark, we’ll be recreating Kirk’s Crypt in 2013 with even more of your favorite, slightly chilling elements. The haunted house will be spookier than ever - where you’ll get to see Kirk’s personal horror collection of vintage horror movie posters, artwork from his favorite artists, vintage monster toys from the 50s, 60s and 70s, and a bunch of other fun stuff.

You’ll get to:

* Check out Kirk’s monster guitars

* View some of the pieces featured in his book, Too Much Horror Business

* Meet special guest horror movie icons

* Hear Kirk talk on a panel about his monster habit

* Preview zombie movies

From rare to realistic pieces that Kirk Hammett commissioned himself, to witnessing zombie and FX artists in action - you won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind experience!
