In February, The Walking Dead fans can sail into the sunset with Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chandler Riggs, and more on the Walker Stalker Cruise! Daily Dead was thrilled to recently team up with Sixthman, Skybound, and Walker Stalker Con to give away a balcony cabin for one lucky winner and a guest, and now we're pleased to share the news that you can help decide which makeup artists will be on board the cruise for the special FX makeup demonstrations!
Every Walker Stalker Cruise over the years has included amazing makeup demonstrations in which attendees have been transformed into the ravenous living dead via the scary good talents of FX artists onboard the cruise.
This year, makeup artists from around the world can fill out an online submission form (including a video link to a "live makeover demonstration") on the Walker Stalker Cruise website for their chance to be one of two featured makeup artists onboard the Norwegian Pearl.
The deadline for makeup artists to apply is Wednesday, October 31st. After the first deadline, 10 semi-finalists will be selected for the voting round, in which The Walking Dead fans will vote for their favorite artists. On December 28th, two winners will be selected and will show off their killer skills on the cruise in February.
If you're a makeup effects guru interested in being a featured artist on the 2019 Walker Stalker Cruise, visit the link below to fill out the submission form:
If you'll be attending the 2019 Walker Stalker Cruise or if you're just a fan of AMC's The Walking Dead, stay tuned for your chance to vote for your favorite makeup artists out of the top 10 that make it to the semi-final round in November.
