Fan access to celebrity guests will be the primary focus of this event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn Atlanta, GA on November 1\u20103, 2013, Walker Stalker Con made its debut where it<br \/>\nassembled more \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d cast members than any other convention ever<br \/>\nbefore, along with other actors from zombie and horror films. The inaugural event had<br \/>\nover 10,500 attendees. In Chicago, IL on March 14\u201016, 2014, Walker Stalker Con made<br \/>\nits second appearance as a convention and the first Walker Stalker Con of 2014. Now,<br \/>\nWalker Stalker Con has set its sights on Boston!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWith cast members from \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d returning to the upcoming Boston<br \/>\nconvention, along with stars from other zombie and horror films, Walker Stalker Con<br \/>\ncontinues to position itself to be particularly unique.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWalker Stalker Con is the fruit of The Walker Stalkers Podcast with James &amp; Eric<br \/>\n(www.thewalkerstalkers.com). The podcast began with an amazing trip to Senoia, GA<br \/>\nwhere James &amp; Eric were able to view the set of The Walking Dead and meet the<br \/>\nincredible actors from the show. As a result of this experience, a podcast began and<br \/>\nthen the idea of a convention focused around recreating that same experience with the<br \/>\ncast and crew of the show, along with talented actors and artists from other zombie<br \/>\nshows, movies and art.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn April 2013, James and Eric decided a podcast wasn\u2019t enough, so they launched a<br \/>\nZombie, Horror and Sci\u2010Fi themed fan\u2010centric convention called Walker Stalker Con<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.WalkerStalkerCon.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.WalkerStalkerCon.com<\/a>).<br \/>\n&#8220;We hope to continue this same kind of access and involvement as we did with our<br \/>\nsuccessful convention in Atlanta,&#8221; say James Frazier and Eric Nordhoff, hosts of the<br \/>\npodcast. \u201cWe want fans of TV shows, films and comics in this genre to have a chance to<br \/>\nhave real interaction with their favorite celebrities \u2013 not just a 10 second hand shake<br \/>\nand photo opp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWalker Stalker Con is not just a convention. It is a fan meet\u2010up and an opportunity for<br \/>\neach guest to come away feeling like they\u2019ve had an amazing experience and became<br \/>\npart of a greater community of zombie lovers!
