Walker Stalker Con 2013

– Walker Stalker Con, a zombie, horror, and sci-fi themed fan-centric convention, will be held at America’s Mart connected to the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel Nov. 1-3, 2013. Fan access to celebrity guests will be the primary focus of the inaugural event. With more cast members from “The Walking Dead” assembled than at any other convention, Walker Stalker Con positions itself to be particularly unique. Watch out for zombies invading Atlanta Halloween weekend! 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.” Actors attending are from “The Walking Dead” (Norman Reedus, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Chandler Riggs, Lauren Cohan, Melissa McBride, IronE Singleton, Vincent M. Ward, Lew Temple), “Holliston” (Adam Green, Corri English, Laura Ortiz), “Halloween” (Danielle Harris), “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood” (Kane Hodder), “Night of the Living Dead” (Judith O’ Dea), “Dawn of the Dead” (Mike Christopher), Eugene Clark (“The Twilight Zone”) and more. 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.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS: James Frazier and Eric Nordhoff are huge fans of the popular AMC TV show “The Walking Dead.” After a once-in-a-lifetime behind-the-scenes trip to the set of The Walking Dead in Senoia, GA (Woodbury), they decided to start a website and a podcast. James and Eric do a twice-weekly podcast during the season of the show, which is meant to be fun and interactive. In April 2013, James and Eric decided a podcast wasn’t enough, so they launched a Zombie, Horror and Sci-Fi themed fan-centric convention called Walker Stalker Con (http://www.WalkerStalkerCon.com). The inaugural event is scheduled for Nov. 1 – 3, 2013 in Atlanta, GA. They are expecting 5000+ attendees.
