Doug Sakmann's Page

Having been in various states of life and afterlife throughout his film career, being a zombie comes naturally to Doug. After getting killed in Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4 and playing the Zombie leader in Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker, he went on to play an undead killing machine in the Punk Rock Holocaust series. Behind the camera, Sakmann has nearly 10 years of SPFX experience, having created effects for several feature films and many other projects and live events, most recently creating a “Post-Mortem Pinups” photo series. Inspired by the Philly Zombie Crawl and a love of all things dead and undead, Sakmann is gathering all his ghoulish friends together to take a bloody bite out of the Big Apple!

The NYC Zombie Crawl team sets up zombie walks and zombie themed events in the NY Area as well as provides zombie SFX makeup for nationally touring acts. Sakmann and his team has personally created & coordinated zombie makeup and events including the Tribeca Film Festival, the Today Show on NBC, the cast of Bravo Network's 'Step It Up and Dance' (To promote Sony Records' 25th Anniversary Re-Release of Michael Jackson's Thriller) the band New Found Glory and much more. With the NYC Zombie Crawl crew, Sakmann has zombified massive crowds of zombie lovers in NYC, at one point totaling over 350 zombies in one day!
