The Boulet Brothers: Horror, Drag, and Queer Power (Ad-Free Audio)
Added 2025-10-10 07:00:04 +0000 UTCIt’s officially spooky season, and Ryan and Yvie are summoning the queens of darkness themselves — The Boulet Brothers! The masterminds behind Dragula join Highkey! for a chilling, hilarious, and deeply queer dive into the magic of horror, the art of drag, and how embracing your inner monster can set you free. The Boulets reveal the origins of their horror obsession, how they built a global cult following, and why queer fear has always been revolutionary. Expect talk of Halloween nostalgia, LA’s haunted nightlife, and the creative grind behind their Emmy-nominated phenomenon. Whether you’re into black-and-white classics, punk drag, or just love chaos and camp, this episode slays from start to finish. Fear, fantasy, and fabulousness — it’s all Dragula, darling.
