One thing's for certain — zombies have staying power in Denver, where the undead are much more than a passing fad. The Walker Stalker Con came to town this past weekend, bringing cast members from The Walking Dead, Z Nation and more, as well as Freddie Krueger himself — actor Robert Englund — for a graveyard full of fun.
