It all started when James Frazier and Eric Nordhoff – who are huge fans of the popular AMC TV show “The Walking Dead” – were invited to the set of “The Walking Dead” in Senoia, GA and were able to meet the incredible actors from the show. As a result of this experience, a podcast was created and then the idea of a convention focused around recreating that same experience with the cast and crew of the show. Walker Stalker Con is the fruit of The Walker Stalkers Podcast with James and Eric.
The Walker Stalker Con made its debut in Atlanta, GA on November 1-3, 2013. The convention assembled more “The Walking Dead” cast members than any other convention ever before, along with other actors from zombie and horror films. The inaugural event had over 10,500 attendees. A second convention was created in Chicago, IL on March 14‐16, 2014, making it the first Walker Stalker Con of 2014. With its great success, it’s now heading to Boston this year.
Walker Stalker Con, a zombie and horror themed fan‐centric convention, will be held at The Westin Boston Waterfront in Boston, MA from June 13-15, 2014.
With cast members from “The Walking Dead” returning to the upcoming Boston convention, along with stars from other zombie and horror films, Walker Stalker Con continues to position itself to be particularly unique. Walker Stalker Con is not just a convention – it is a fan meet‐up and an opportunity for each guest to come away feeling like they’ve had an amazing experience and become part of a greater community of zombie lovers.
Confirmed guests for the convention include:
Norman Reedus (Daryl, The Walking Dead, Murphy, The Boondock Saints)
Steven Yeun (Glenn, The Walking Dead)
Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha, The Walking Dead)
Clifton Collins, Jr. (Romeo, The Boondock Saints II)
Judith O’Dea (Barbra, Night of the Living Dead)
Walker Stalker Con kicks off on Friday, June 13th at noon. The exhibit floor will be open all three days featuring games, toys, comic and other memorabilia for true fans of zombie and horror.
