Another day another zombie crawl. I have been covering Doug Sakmann’s NYC and Brooklyn zombie crawls twice a year for nearly a decade and this year was no exception. I keep thinking all this is going to make for a good book that I can sell to nerds one day but I feel like by the time I ever do anything about it no one will care about zombies anymore… At least they keep making episodes of The Walking Dead…

This year the crawl started out at The Continental. I got there a bit late and they were already gone. I started walking towards Otto’s Shrunken Head (the first stop) and I ran into them about 6 blocks north of where they started. After a quick stop at Otto’s they crawled to Beauty Bar for the after party.

The after party featured music by J & The 9s and Skeletal Life, “undead burlesque” from Liberty Rose and some sideshow madness from Dr. Claw. Also a bunch of clowns showed up and some people from Troma including Will Keenan who played Tromeo in Tromeo and Juliet which if you haven’t seen it is maybe Troma’s best film and it was written (and maybe directed) by James Gunn who wrote Scooby Doo 2 (and also some other stuff Guardians of the Galaxy for example).

So go look at these photos if you feel like you need more zombie crawl photos in your life. These pics are kinda NSFW cause of the burlesque, the painful to look at sideshow stuff and one topless photo at the very end.

The god damn NYC Zombie Crawl is back. My friend Doug Sakmann keeps throwing these things and for some insane reason I keep showing up. This is the 9th year he has been running the zombie crawls and he does two a year and I think I have photographed something like 15 of the 18. I really hate getting fake blood on me because it is sticky and smells like pancakes but it always makes for good pictures especially around Halloween.

This year it was probably the coldest I remember a zombie crawl being (take that global warming! (wait, is that how that works?)) and everyone met up at the Twins Pub in midtown. I was just a few blocks away watching football with my Dolfans NYC crew so it was easy enough to roll over there.

The zombies made their way from Twins to the Museum of Sex which apparently has a bar in the basement. I mostly spent my time there looking at sexy photo books in the gift shop because I care about photo books more than I do about zombies or booze.

From  there the zombies crawled over to Slake for the after party and two of my friends bands (Jungle Junkies & Bikini Carwash) played but I decided I couldn’t stay there any longer since I was on about two hours of sleep and felt like I was losing my mind a little bit. I did get to see the trailer for Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse which seems like it could be a pretty good edition the growing line of zombie comedies like Shaun Of The Dead and Zombieland.

In conclusion (how every essay I wrote in middle school ended), there are some photos of zombies that you should look at it if you like that sort of thing. Thank you for your time. The end.

Once again I photographed another zombie crawl. I keep telling myself that I am going to stop taking photos of zombies, yet I keep going to these things. I mean how many photos of zombies can you possibly take? But they again they are always fun to look at…

NYC Zombie Crawl does two crawls a year, on in Brooklyn during the summer and one in Manhattan around Halloween. This year the Manhattan version happened around the NY Comic Con. It was a bit rainy and Comic Con stuff was still going on so when I got to Twins Pub the crawl seemed under attended but as the zombies walked up 8th avenue new zombies kept joining the hoard.

The zombies headed to Times Scare for some zombie burlesque from the Peek-A-Boo Review but right outside the bar NYC Zombie Crawl leader Doug Sakmann got detained by police after he climbed a sign post directly above a police check point. Fortunately he only got a ticket and the crawl was just mildly delayed.

After the burlesque a ton of zombies had joined up and they headed through Times Square and over to Bowlmor Lanes for the after party. A bunch of bands played and Disgraceland Hook Squad & Family Sideshow did horrible things that you might not want to look at if you are squeamish. The sound sucked at the venue which was a bummer because I was pretty excited for Murder One and Girls Girls Girls who are Motorhead and Motley Crue tribute bands. I am a pretty huge Motorhead fan and Motley Crue was probably my favorite band when I was 11. Luckily I have seen Motorhead a half dozen times and I think I am shooting Motley Crue’s last NYC show later this month.

Danse De Sade, Gash and The Deafening played as well. Danse De Sade were super creepy and featured a half naked lady which I appreciate. She got my card and we talked about taking photos at some point and I wouldn’t hate that. Gash were pretty punk rock which I enjoy and their front lady was badass. The Deafening also feature a badass front woman, Lena Hall, who won a Tony Award for her roll in Hedwig & The Angry Inch on Broadway. She was awesome and sang on the bar, made out with audience members and poured beer all over everything which is pretty much exactly what I do when I front a band except that she can sign her ass off as well.

That’s enough rambling. Go look at the massive gallery of photos. There are about 300 of them and they are reasonably NSFW.

Another Brooklyn Zombie Crawl? You know what that means… Another insane Brooklyn Zombie Crawl after party! Last year the party was held at Public Assembly and my band played and it was a ton of fun. This year our drummer was out of town, but it was still a hell of a time. A half Misfits cover band called Skeletal Life played and that was awesome and later Bikini Carwash played and they were awesome and late night a singing pirate named Voltaire played and in between the bands there was just total madness.

My friend Lunchbox hosted the Disgraceland Family Freak show and the Disgraceland Hook Squad did some terrifying flesh pulls including one where Lunchbox attached a hook through his balls and my friend Sewer Sprite attached hooks to her throat and right above her vagina and it was extremely brutal.

Two things we learned from that: 1) Yes this gallery is extremely NSFW and 2) My friends have absurd names.

Scarlett Storm and Smurfasaur Suicide from the Rigormortis Review did burlesque and got naked a lot and Smurf was involved in the Disgraceland stuff and pretty much all of it was awesome. You can see them naked in places like Bombshell Brats and Suicide Girls if you are into that sort of thing. Personally I hope to shoot them for real for this site soon, but I have been saying that for a while now…

And to end the night Doug Sakmann hosted his infamous Strip for Pain which involved Scarlett and Smurf torturing guys and getting naked. Good times.

Anyway, it was totally insane and you need to look at the damn photos already…

My friend Doug Sakmann once again brought the NYC Zombie Crawl to Brooklyn and fake blood covered Bedford Avenue. The 7th annual Brooklyn zombie crawl wasn’t quite as massive as some of the crawls before it, normally it takes place on Memorial Day weekend, but hundreds of zombies still showed up ready to eat hipster flesh in Williamsburg.  The crawl started out at the Knitting Factory and went down Bedford Ave to McCarren Park before turning around and ending up at Public Assembly for an insane after party.

I have been covering Doug’s zombie crawl events for years and I think they get crazier and crazier. Between the zombies and the flesh pulls and the random nudity this gallery is very much NSFW.  But just wait until I post the after party pictures, looking at those pictures at work will definitely get you fired.

Not sure what else can be said about these pictures so just take a look already!

Holy shit. If the NYC Zombie Crawl wasn’t enough there was an insane after party at The Studio at Webster Hall. A lot of the thousand plus zombies went home and missed out on total insanity. It was a little too empty all night for some reason but the couple hundred people who stuck around were in for a treat. There was a Nine Inch Nails cover band fronted by an Elvis impersonator (Nine Inch Elvis), there was an all girl metal cover band (Thunder Box) who blew people away from their opener Ace of Spades all the way to their closer Run To The Hills. Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman showed up and played a sneak peak of his new Class of Nuke Em High remake. Lots of the cast were there and were causing all sorts of trouble. My girl Scarlett Storm showed up with her friend Smurf and they did horror themed burlesque. At the end of the night there was some sort of sexy zombie contest where the only person not dressed up was the only person to get naked. But there was vomiting and sexy dancing. Also there were human flesh pulls, I mean obviously. Honestly the whole night was a fucking blur. I wasn’t drinking but I felt drunk (There was a lot of cheap Sailor Jerry and PBR though) and got a bunch of girls naked in the back room and in the bathroom. It was like an old school DBB night. Lot’s of fun, total weirdness and tons of wild NSFW pictures. Look at them!

The NYC Zombie Crawl is back! This year they started out at Webster Hall before heading up to Union Square, over to Beauty Bar, down to the Continental before heading back to Webster for a fucking insane after party. I took close to 150 photos of the crawl and I am going to break it up into two updates. Today you are getting just the crawl and then I will be back tomorrow with the after party. The crawl pictures are insane because zombie leader Doug Sakman is a lunatic, many laws were broken and there is some NSFW stuff from both Goddess Shea and Troma’s Zac Amico, but the after party pics are full of nudity and heavy metal. Old school DBB naked in bathrooms type stuff. So come back tomorrow. But first check out these pics, and you have been warned. Once you see Zac naked you may never be the same again.

The Brooklyn Zombie Crawl after party at Public Assembly is always total madness so when I saw a Misfits cover band play last year and kill it I knew that my punk cover band Fucking Bullshit had to play this years. I begged king of the zombies Doug Sakmann to let us play and then I had to beg my band not to go out of town for Memorial Day. The whole thing was worth it as we played the best show of our short career. Of course I didn’t take any pictures of our set but Coach Mike did. You can see his shots here. I can proudly say we were the highlight of the evening even if we may not be ever asked back. It was a real shit show.

Before we played Andy Shaw’s awesome punk band Bikini Carwash opened up the night. They are fronted by this hot lady who sings in a bikini which is appropriate given the name and I fully support. Pretty sure I attacked her during our set.  Sorry.

After my band played things were a little questionable photographically. I hit my head badly during a stage dive and I was properly concussed. I also was pretty drunk on Sailor Jerry rum. They were a sponsor and it was my birthday and they kept pouring it in my face. I managed to shoot some of the rest of the festivities even though I was ruined and I managed to break my flash. I shot my pal Scarlett Storm get naked on stage. She is a Bombshell Brat and a member of the burlesque troupe Rigor Mortis Revue. I was too messed up to document the Smut Cave talk show or the Zombie Gilbert Gottfried but I did manage to shoot the insane Strip For Pain which as always involves naked Burning Angel girls beating the shit out of dudes. The guy who won was possible the best I have ever seen at taking the pain.  There was also a “Hot Zombie Contest” but it devolved pretty quickly into Scarlett getting naked and making out with some other girl who emailed me asking me not to post her tits on the internet so I did what I could. Either way the whole gallery is properly NSFW no matter what.  Enjoy.

I am in LA and super behind with very little time to update but I needed to get these damn zombie crawl images up! I shoot the Brooklyn Zombie Crawl every year and it seems to become more and more popular and their are more and more photographers. This year my band was playing the after party so I sort of held back and didn’t take as many photos as normal.  But normal is like 1000 photos… I still have a massive gallery of zombies attacking Williamsburg, Brooklyn and I will have another huge gallery from the after party.

Here is the important info real quick: My insane friend and zombie crawl capitan Doug Sakmann lead close to 1000 zombies from Trash Bar to McCarren Park to Spike Hill, where Nassau Chainsaw played, over to Public Assembly for the after party.  The whole thing took more than two hours and as always is a fantastic time and amazingly no one ever gets arrested.

These photos are nuts and there will be a NSFW gallery of the after party coming soon!
