Drag Supermonsters Swanthula and Dracmorda Boulet Talk Ten Years of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula

THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA, a drag competition show featuring horror and practical effects, celebrates ten years of production. Originally designed for Netflix but deemed too unconventional for mainstream platforms, the show aired on various networks before Shudder became its home three years after its debut. Shudder’s partnership proved ideal by consolidating international rights. The hosts, Swanthula and Dracmorda Boulet, discussed how they identify performers, noting they are less embedded in nightclub culture than previously but still scout social media and industry recommendations. The show’s signature elimination scenes, presented as horror movie kills, are framed as love letters to contestants. Season seven, premiering October 27 on Shudder, features an ’80s VHS horror theme with shot-for-shot recreations of famous horror kills. The Boulets highlighted favorite challenges and eliminations from the past decade, including the Thunderdome extermination from season two.
