To dismiss the Boulet Brothers merely as filthy horror drag queens would be doing this talented duo a grave misjustice. The couple Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet (who are not real brothers but actual lovers for the past 20 years) are outrageously glamorous drag queens who desperately want to share their passion for showcasing all the horror, filth and glamour of the underground drag world.
For over 15 years now the Brothers have been superstars of the alternative drag scene in L.A, where they have created highly successful events such as events like Queen Kong, a weekly lineup of often boundary-pushing drag and queer performance, and Dragula, a formerly monthly celebration of drag, filth, leather and glamour, where queens were known to mud wrestle and attendees once walked out covered in blood, fish guts and confetti,
They evolved Dragula into a web series, where demonic, hell-born queens compete to become “The World’s Next Drag Supermonster” weekly. The second season, paintball duels and physical thunderdome battles, and contestants have faced off in challenges where they’re made to stand in buckets of ice and get terrible tattoos. Not that participants weren’t warned: This competition is not safe was one of the first things they were told in the premiere edition.
The whole loud and very raw queer performances have been deliberately pushed to the extreme as an antidote to what the Brothers consider is the too bland and safe culture that drag has now become.
With two extremely successful season behind them they have just launched Season 3 exclusively on Amazon Prime. It features 11 drag artists competing to be the World’s Next Drag Supermonster. The title also comes with a $25,000 cash prize for the queen who snatches the crown and wins the title of DRAGULA – The World’s Next Drag Supermonster.
Each episode the competitors are given challenges to prove their skills at costume design, special effects makeup, acting, and performance art. The weakest monsters of each episode must face extreme fear-based challenges to prove they deserve to remain in the competition or they will face extermination. From being buried alive to eating maggots, jumping out of a plane or getting tattooed, the extermination challenges are thrilling, shocking and truly must-see-TV
The Bothers promise “More guts, more glamour and more level-10 looks from our newest brood of drag monsters. We’re also delighted to say that we’ve given special attention to new ways in which we can truly terrify our contestants and our audiences”
