The Boulet Brothers are to reality TV what punk rock is to mainstream music. And with The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, they’ve carved out a dark, opulent, and uncompromising alternative that celebrates horror, camp, and glamour. Focusing on the “monstrous” side of drag, Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet lean into horror-inspired looks and a punk aesthetic, showcasing special effects makeup, extreme performances, and striking craftsmanship.

Often, the challenges presented on Shudder‘s The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula embrace the roots of the horror genre, unfolding like mini horror films in their own right. Filled with gruesome effects that don’t hold back on guts and gore, the Boulet Brothers have put their own stamp on the drag scene by blending genre with glamour to create a truly subversive and cinematic form of drag performance that pushes boundaries and redefines what the art form can be.
