Zombie enthusiasts and fans of the number-one show on television, The Walking Dead, will have the opportunity to meet their favorite stars at the upcoming Walker Stalker Con at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks, October 1-2.
Walker Stalker Con has become an incredibly popular convention, offering something for everyone from the diehard fan to families to those with a growing interest in the genre. More than 30 of the most popular actors from shows such as The Walking Dead, Bates Motel, Gotham and more will speak to the audience, meet fans, pose for photos and sign autographs (see full list).
Attendees can also participate in a range of engaging and unique activities, including:
- Free panel sessions led by stars from some of television’s most popular shows.
- The Walking Dead Experience, is an immersive theatrical attraction in which small audience groups are placed in the middle of the action as either “walkers” or “survivors” and moved through a story by performers.
- Zombies and cosplayers roam the convention floor, making for interactive experiences attendees will never forget.
- Bringing the Dead to Life with Tate Steinsiek, a two-hour demonstration showcasing intermediate and advanced zombie special effects.
