RuPaul’s Drag Race and the mainstream transformation of drag art, Dragula came on the scene to shake things up and help put a spotlight on alternative drag.
Created by queer nightlife legends and drag icons The Boulet Brothers in 2016, the horror-drag competition show has taken the formula laid out by RuPaul and turned it up to a terrifying degree.Each week, the drag "monsters" must come up with a "Floor Show" routine to wow the judges — The Boulet Brothers and weekly guest judges — while the losers must compete in a terrifying elimination game.While the show retains the elements of drag artists displaying their talents on a weekly basis to find "The World's Next Drag Supermonster," the show is not for the faint of heart.
