Zombies will invade Rosemont on Saturday afternoon, March 8, promoting the Chicago Walker Stalker Convention, which takes place March 14-16 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. A "Zombie Shamble" will commence at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare at 3 p.m. CST, with the undead shuffling through the Rosemont Entertainment District, spreading the word about the convention as well as instilling fear and chills to unsuspecting "victims." A gathering at the Five Roses Pub will follow with an all-ages "Zombie Hour" from 4-6pm. The public is invited to join in on the fun, where photo opportunities with zombies (compliments of Chicago Zombie), drawings for convention passes, and other activities will be offered. The Walker Stalker Con is a fan-run event centered on zombie fiction and fantasy.

The three-day extravaganza features vendors, panel discussions, a "Zombie Bash" party, music concert, and meet & greet opportunities with members of the show's cast and crew as well as other zombie, horror and sci-fi celebrities of film and television. This year's guests at Walker Stalker Con Chicago include Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chad Coleman, Emily Kinney and others representing The Walking DeadArrow will send a contingent including David Ramsey, Stephen Amell, Manu Bennett and Emily Bett Rickards. HalloweenDay of the DeadThe Tomorrow People and Under the Dome will also be represented.
