Why have one drag queen when you can have two? The worlds of drag glamor and gothic art combine in the Boulet Brothers, who have made a career out of drag horror. They have their own show called 'Dragula,' which would be best described as the darker sibling of 'Drag Race.' It's still a competition, but many of the contests within it would result in 'Drag Race' being pulled off the air. As far as the Boulet Brothers are concerned, the seedier and more sinister an act is the better.
Popular themes which the Boulet Brothers address both on and off their show are science fiction, 80s metal, horror movies, and glam rock. They're the Marilyn Manson of the industry. Contestants who lose challenges on their show are often subjected to punishments with permanent consequences, including having a piercing done or getting a tattoo!
