Walker Stalker Convention Denver - Shae's Recap

For the first time in our proud city's con history, Walker Stalker invaded Denver and made us all fall in love with Zombies and Horror all over again. The wide array of guests chomped their way into our hearts. There was a lot of the cast from The Walking Dead on hand, and they were happy to take selfies with us, sign Bisquik boxes, and laugh along side us. We also had some classic horror actors, like the original Freddy, who geeked out with all of us as well.

But we all know my favorite place to be, though, and that was the con floor, where the dealers had their booths set up. With how diverse the age groups were that attended this con, there was something for everyone from every age group. From POP! figures to collectibles it was an amazing place to shop. You can bet my first purchase was a couple of POPs. John was awesome enough to help me find the elusive Carl POP!, and I might have added to the family by getting the latest Daryl. It is a con based on our favorite zombie killing show, of course I had to get Walking Dead POPs! John finally settled on Rick, which was long over due. Sadly, Scotty and Desiree didn't commit to any POPs....don't worry, I'll get them infected with POP fever.

There were many an amazing vendor, and of course many a talented artist and author. Scotty got a brand new book, and John picked up some epic portraits of the Governor and Rick. Before I drop what I got on you guys, you have to know I love you. I do love Walking Dead and a lot from the horror genre, but there are some things that transcend that. BB-8 is one of them. I was lucky enough to find a beautiful BB-8 portrait! He's so cute and currently hanging on my wall...because I'm an adult. This con had many a local, and not so local, artist and author offering their crafts, and they didn't disappoint.

The best part about attending a convention like this for the first time...is that I had a lot of fun, and so did everyone else from what I saw around me. People of all ages came out to enjoy their weekend with their favorite stars, buy some pretty amazing stuff, and have a great time. Whether you were a classic horror lover or a new age zombie fanatic, there was something for everyone, and guys, it was a blast!
