The Boulet Brothers dish on ‘Rocky Horror,’ their favorite frights of the year & soundtracking your Halloween
god Lucifer for The Boulet Brothers, Dracmorda and Swanthula (a.k.a. Drac & Swan), who just dropped their Halloween House Party EP, which delivers exactly what it promises: playlist-ready original tracks to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve, harkening back to psychobilly surf-rock sounds with a modern electronic edge.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Further cementing Drac & Swan’s status as the Queens Of Halloween, the monster mash-up of an EP comes hot on the heels of the (66)6th season of The Boulet Brothers‘ Dragula on Shudder, the filthiest and freakiest drag series in the world (and we mean that in the beast way).With the competition just kicking into hellish high gear, this season’s already shaping up to be one for the books with truly horrifying challenges, gaggy guest judges (hello Child’s Play legends Don Mancini & Jennifer Tilly!), and a cast of drag ghouls so talented you almost hate to see them get exterminated—almost!From music to television to your nightmares, The Boulet Brothers are truly every where this Halloween season, and that’s exactly how we like it.
To help us get a head start on celebrating the holiday, we invited Drac & Swan to be the latest guests of our rapid-fire Q&A series, Dishin’ It.
In our conversation, the glam goblins sing the praises of the (apparently still controversial) Rocky Horror Picture Show, share their favorite horror flicks of the year so far, and reveal their favorite costumes from Halloweens of yore.Is there a piece of media—whether a movie, TV series, book, album, theater, video game, etc…—that has played an important role in your understanding of queerness and the queer community?
Why does it stand out to you? DRAC & SWAN: I would say the one film that awakened both of our queerness would be The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
