Walker Stalker Con Brings Zombies, Horror and Sci-fi Stars to Atlanta
If you love zombies and can’t get enough of shows like “The Walking Dead” and “Holliston”, “Night of the Living Dead” and “The Twilight Zone”, you are going to want to get to Atlanta for the Walker Stalker Conference November 1st thru 3rd.
Celebrity guests include Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus (seen above), Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Chandler Riggs, Lauren Cohan, Melissa McBride, IronE Singleton, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple, Greg Nicotero and more from “The Walking Dead”; Adam Green, Corri English, Joe Lynch, and Laura Ortiz from “Holliston.” Other guests include: Danielle Harris (“Halloween”), Kane Hodder (“Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood”), Judith O’Dea (“Night of the Living Dead”), Mike Christopher (“Dawn of the Dead”), Eugene Clark (“The Twilight Zone”) and more.
This is a fan-centric convention and will be held at America’s Mart, connected to the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel.
Tickets for the event start as low as $30 for general admission and can be purchased at www.walkerstalkercon.com/tickets.
The timing falls perfectly for Halloween weekend, and you can bet, these fans will be getting into the spirit of things with zombies and horror stars flooding the event.
It all began when The Walker Stalkers podcast with James and Eric (www.thewalkerstalkers.com) reached #2 on iTunes for all Entertainment podcasts. The podcast continues to be popular for connecting the fans to the celebrities and actors of the TV Show “The Walking Dead”!
“We hope to continue this same kind of access and involvement with our first ever convention,” say James Frazier and Eric Nordhoff, hosts of the podcast. “We want fans of TV shows, films and comics in this genre to have a chance to have real interaction with their favorite celebrities – not just a 10 second hand shake and photo opp.”
The full list of guests can be found at www.walkerstalkercon.com.
Walker Stalker Con kicks off on Friday, Nov. 1 at noon. The exhibit floor will be open all three days featuring games, toys, comic and other memorabilia for true fans of zombie, horror and science fiction. Friday night, there will be a special Fan Meet and Greet for all VIP ticket holders.
On Saturday there will be a VIP Meet & Greet with celebrities, a concert with Emily Kinney (plays Beth on “The Walking Dead”), plus a “Zombie Costume Bash Party” – a night of dressing up, contests and meeting/mingling with the celebrity guests! (Must be 18 or older to attend the Zombie Costume Bash.)
All events, except for the Saturday Night Zombie Costume Bash party, are family-friendly. Children age 10 and under do not require a ticket with a paid adult. (Children will receive a General Admission ticket only and are not eligible for a free VIP ticket. A VIP ticket may be purchased for children separately.)
In addition, Atlanta Movie Tours will also be departing from the hotel providing fans with a local tour of movie and TV filming locations in the area.
