Zombie Ringleader – Doug Sakmann

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 over 10 years of SPFX experience, having created effects for several feature films and many other projects and live events. He has also directed several horror projects, most recently the zombie football project ‘Play Dead‘. 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!
