[dramatic music]

- Happy Halloween, uglies.

I'm sure you're all dying to
know why we invited you here.

So we're going to
get right to it.

Each of you competed on a
previous season of "Dragula"

and each of you
failed miserably.

- And as you all know,
in this competition,

you either win or die.

And well, we all know how
that turned out for you.

You tried your best
to snatch the crown.

And unfortunately, all
you ended up winning

was an early grave and a
one-way ticket to hell.

- Regardless, that
was in the past

and we brought you here
tonight to discuss the future.

You see, of all the monsters
who competed and fell,

we feel that the seven of
you showed great promise.

And tonight, we're giving
you a second chance

to prove your worth and return
to the land of the living.

- You are here to compete in
a grand Halloween showcase.

You will prove your
skills at the art of drag,

filth, horror, and glamour

by creating three
looks and performances,

which you will present in
three distinct floor shows.

- You'll be judged
on your creativity,

your skills at costume
design and creation,

your makeup skills, and
your ability to perform.

You will also be scored
on your ingenuity

and the freshness of
your overall vision
for each challenge.

- Whoever achieves the highest
score will win the showcase

and will be risen
from the grave.

You will return to
the land of the living

and compete again
as a cast member

of the upcoming "Boulet
Brothers' Dragula" season four.

- [laughs] And that's not all.

The winner of the
Halloween competition

will also win $20,000
in cold, hard cash.

[dramatic music continues]

Outside of your looks
and performances,

we wanna see you open up.

We're looking for a monster
with a fresh perspective.

Someone who has
something to say,

someone who's not afraid
to show us who they are

and is truly ready to come back
to the competition and slay.

- With that out of the way,

it's time to meet your
fellow competitors.

Starting off the
competition are two monsters

all the way back
from season one,

Loris

and Frankie Doom.

[suspenseful music]

Up next are three tumultuous
terrors from season two,

Kendra Onixxx,

Dahli,

and Victoria Black.

And last but not least,
we have some fresh meat

who just got done
slaying season three,

Saint

and Priscilla Chambers.

- Welcome back, darlings.

Now let's talk about
your challenges.

We have chosen one
legacy challenge

from each season of the
"Boulet Brothers' Dragula."

From season one, we have
the witch challenge.

[witch cackles]

You'll need to design and
create an original look

based on the theme of the witch.

- Hell yeah.

- For your second challenge,

you'll need to design and create
a spectacular spectral look

based on the ghost
theme from season two.

[suspenseful music]

And your final challenge,

it's inspired by one of our
favorites from season three,

the vampire challenge.

For this challenge, you
will not only have to create

an incredible vampiric look,
but you must also perform.

You will choreograph and
execute a lip-sync performance

to Kim Petras' haunting
serenade "In the Next Life."

- Amazing.

- Oh, and there is
one last little thing.

We will not be bringing
you back to the mansion

to compete against one
another this time around.

- Oh.

- You see, instead
of you coming to us-

- Oh no.

- We're going to come to you.

[dramatic music]

That's right, my
cunty little cadavers.

We're going to be sending
our skeleton camera crews

directly to your homes.

We're going to rip
off your shells

and see what makes you
tick on the inside.

- We're going to film
you at your jobs,

interrogate your
friends and lovers,

and look under those filthy beds

to see what you're
really made of.

- You have one week
to design your looks

and prepare your shows.

The competition starts now.

[dramatic music] [both laughing]

[VHS player turns on]

[suspenseful music]

[engine revving]

- Hi, I'm Kendra
Onixxx from season two

and I live in Moreno Valley.

I'm going to win because I feel
like I have grown the most.

I'd describe Kendra's
drag as very naked,

very bloody, very high energy.

I'll be dripping in blood,
do cartwheels, splits,

butt ass naked,
pussy on the ground.

That's me.

Kendra, season two,

was like, meow, meow, meow
cute around the house.

But this is like
Kendra 2.0, bitch.

Like I'm ready to show
you guys what I have.

[suspenseful music continues]

- I'm Victoria Elizabeth Black
from season two of "Dragula."

And I live in Orlando, Florida.

When I got the call
to be on the special,

I was flabbergasted,

especially finding out that
it's a Halloween special,

like, come on, that
is literally my shit.

I'm going to win this because
I am so much more talented

than any of those other girls.

Like there are things that
I'm gonna pull out of the bag

that they would never
even think to do.

[suspenseful music continues]

- Well, hey, y'all,

your favorite country
sister-cousin is back,

Priscilla Chambers, and I was
on "Dragula" season three.

I know I look a
little different.

I've currently
started transitioning,

which basically means that
I've upgraded to a double wide.

Halloween is my
favorite holiday.

I went trick or treating
until I was 17 years old.

And then I had to stop
because I would get there

and they would give
me one piece of candy

or just close the door.

[suspenseful music continues]

- I'm Loris, I'm from
season one of "Dragula"

and I live in
Hollywood, California.

I wanna be famous.

I feel like, honestly, season
two and three had it so easy

compared to what we had to
go through on season one.

The essence of a truly
great "Dragula" contestant

is that pure energy of
fuck you, I'm that bitch.

I am that bitch and I
know that I'm that bitch.

- Loris can never be that bitch

and will never be that bitch.

[suspenseful music continues]

- Hi, I'm Frankie Doom.

I'm from West
Covina, California,

and I was on season one of
"The Boulet Brothers' Dragula".

If I had to describe
my drag character,

I would say I'm like a big
mix of Ursula the Sea Witch,

Elvira, Christina
Aguilera, and Miss Piggy.

- I think I can
beat Frankie Doom.

- Oh, I can beat Frankie Doom.

Anyone in this
competition probably
could beat Frankie Doom.

- Victoria, who, what'd she say?

Did she say anything
in the show?

I can take her, I'm bigger.

[suspenseful music continues]

- I'm Saint, I competed
on "Dragula" season three,

and I'm from Acworth, Georgia.

Being on "Dragula" absolutely
made my drag stronger.

I've traveled the world,
I've sold out shows.

I'm not anywhere near the
queen I was back then.

I was looking at a photo of
myself and I was like, gosh,

I wish I could redo "Dragula"
season three all over again.

I wish I could go back.

I wish I could show
people what I was made of.

And here we are.

[suspenseful music continues]

- I'm Dahli. I am
from Phoenix, Arizona.

I was a contestant on
season two of "Dragula."

Well, I guess last time I
got sent home too early,

and this time is
a little different

'cause I'm already
home, so that's nice.

My time on season two
was a fun experience.

However, my vision was
clouded by so much anxiety.

I definitely regret giving up

and not showing more of myself.

I'm going into
this with a mindset

that I am fucking untouchable
and I can't be duplicated.

- Oh my God. I love Dahli.

We exchanged nudes one time.

I was very happy
with what I got.

- Ooh, bae. I love St. Lucia.

Yeah. I have lots of
feelings about that one

and all of them are
very good and tingly.

Thank you. [laughs]

- [exhales] Happy Halloween.

[VHS player static]

[suspenseful music]

- When I got the call to
be on this competition,

to do this, it was
kind of incredible.

Honestly, I feel that
I could win this.

I wanna come back and
compete because I feel like

now that I'm in a
different place in my life,

I've grown so much
as a performer,

I've come such a long way,

I feel like I want to be
able to take another chance

to fuck shit it up again and
hopefully make it to the end.

I mean, I hope to
win, but if I don't,

there's always a
top three again.

I've been in love with drag
since I was a little kid.

I remember having cable.
I was an only child.

Well, I have a sister, but-

I used to stay up
late and watch movies

and cartoons, and random things.

I remember I came
across Dawn Davenport.

My favorite, I wanted
to be Dawn Davenport.

I just wanted to
be a monster woman.

That's what got me started.

Growing up, my occupation
that my parents asked

what's your dream, what's your
goal, what's your aspiration?

It was to be famous,
to be a star.

I never knew it was gonna
be dressing up in drag,

but I'm really glad it is.

I'm really happy with
how it turned out,

but it took me a while to
actually get the balls to do it.

My boyfriend actually told me,

"Well, stop fucking talking
about it and fucking do it,

or I don't wanna hear it."

So I picked up a wig,
I picked up a corset,

and went out there
and looked a big mess.

My family was not okay with it.

When it came to drag, they
really, they didn't get it.

You know, we're
Mexican, everyone thinks

you're gonna be
this like butch kid

and have a whole bunch of kids
and you know, I'm not that.

- [Dahli] I actually
enjoy Frankie.

And I think he's a fucking
powerhouse of a tank.

Frankie, he has his niche

and I haven't ever seen
her rise up out of it.

So if she can do that, she
could probably crush some shit.

She's not gonna touch this, but
she could crush it. [laughs]

- So, one night I was going
to a Boulet Brother pageant.

And my dad walked up to me
in the restroom and said,

"Why do you do this?
You're not even pretty.

You look gross. Like,
I don't get it."

So that night, I
left, I fucked it up.

I won that and I came home
and I told my dad that night,

"Well, your ugly son is
a fucking pageant winner.

I'm a fucking beauty queen."

And I came with
my fucking check,

"Here's my money, here's my
flowers, and here's my crown."

And that kind of
was the beginning

of like just being more
confident in myself

and kind of growing from there.

And that's always
what I wanted to be.

I feel like Frankie's
very powerful

because she's a stunning
woman with a penis.

[ominous music]

So we're at Knott's Berry Farm.

So this is one of my jobs
and I'm a scare actor.

How long can you
hold your breath?

I chase people around
with an ax as a fish boy.

I love scaring people, I
love to freak people out,

chase them, pretend
I'm gonna kill them.

I went up to this guest. I
jumped right in front of her,

and I screamed in her face
and I swung my weapon,

and she freaked out so hard
that she liter-literally

uppercutted me in the nose and
the nose ripped off my mask.

So I mean, it was amazing.

It's cool that I scared someone
so bad that they beat me up,

but I had to haul ass to
hot-glue that shit back on

so I can come back
and keep scaring.

You never stop scaring.

I was really looking forward
to coming back this year

and scaring again,
but due to COVID,

it just seems like
we're not gonna have

a Halloween this year,
and it really sucks.

It's really crappy that COVID
kind of shut everything down.

[phone ringing]

- [Voicemail] Please
leave a message.

- Hey, St. Lucia, I heard
you're on the show with me.

I can't wait to see that body.

Mm.

I hope we get to be close to
each other. It's gonna be hot.

[Frankie slurping]

- I'm a whore, so
I'm okay with this.

[ominous music]

- So the first
challenge is the witch.

So I wanted to bring one of
my favorite witches to life,

the Grand High Witch from
the movie "The Witches."

I really didn't want
to give you guys

the same thing I
gave you season one,

which was this like naked,
trashy, swamp witch.

I wanted to take it up a notch

and kind of go the
complete opposite

and show you how
much I've changed,

and, you know, glam
it up a little bit.

So I wanted to kind of
really bring that cape out.

'Cause the cape is the
showstopper. It's huge.

It's obnoxious in the
cover, it's insane.

So, so much fucking fabric
went into making this.

I think it's like 20 yards.

There's like 10 of
purple, 10 of black.

And let's hope it holds up.

She also has a human face
that she, in the scene,

like rips away to
reveal her monster face.

So I kinda wanna make a
little mini Frankie moment

to kind of tear away for that.

And this is a foam
latex prosthetic.

So far, she has the base and
she has some stuff going on.

It's gonna get a lot better,

but I'm not gonna
give it all away yet.

So here's your glimpse,
that's it, expect much more.

So basically this is
it. This is the witch.

All you guys can stay home.

Y'all can just figure shit out

because who's better than
the Grand High Witch?

And I'm the Grand
High Witch. [cackles]

[ominous music continues]

[suspenseful music]

[upbeat country hip hop music]

[suspenseful music]

- So our first challenge
is going to be a witch

and I really wanted to go
back to my country roots.

You know, I figured
that going into this,

everyone, they're gonna
go with the cliche route,

you know, nose, chin, just
what you would think of.

So I decided to
do a swamp witch.

And it's true to me, if
Priscilla was a witch,

she'd be this nasty,
dirty Appalachian witch.

So I was thinking, all right,

this is the perfect
opportunity to do taxidermy.

So I ordered a taxidermy
alligator head.

The reason I do taxidermy
is because I think

it's very important to
find the beauty in death.

So I want to utilize every
part of this animal that I got.

So I'm currently trying to
make this a jaw fascinator.

So it'll be very interesting

trying to like drill
another hole in this

and trying to get it
hooked up and to stay

because I have stretched
ears and I know

this shit's gonna
pull, but you know,

"Dragula," you gotta
have some pain.

Right, whenever I got back
from filming season three,

I began the journey
in transitioning

and been on hormones about
a year and four months now.

Drag was a very, very
good outlet for me.

There would be no drag community
without trans entertainers.

There just wouldn't be.

And I think the
world needs to know

that trans entertainers exist
and we're not going anywhere.

- [Frankie] I think
Priscilla is amazing.

I love that she came out after

and she's living
her fucking truth,

like be who you are
and that's the whole,

that's the whole journey, right?

That's the whole thing
about being an artist

and living your life.

It's being who the fuck
you are authentically.

And I think it's great
that she's doing that.

- [Victoria] I'm really
happy for Priscilla

and the journey that she's on.

I'm so happy she finally
like can be herself

and show everyone like
the true bitch she is.

I love her.

- When I was 17, I decided
to come out as trans.

You know, I went back and forth
of like, how can I do drag

and, you know, be
a trans person?

Like I just had it in my
mind that I couldn't do both.

And I realized that none
of that shit matters.

I know a lot of
like trans people

are called drag
performers sometimes,

and that's not it at all.

And so there can kind of cause

a little bit of um..
Chaos in the community.

They don't know because they've
never been taught any better

because we don't have
that representation.

I think it's very
important for the media

to showcase us in
a better light.

That's not just like,
we're playing the villains,

we're a man dressing
up as a woman

or like we're getting murdered.

That's literally all
the representation

you see as trans people.

I am just a person doing drag.

Being trans has nothing to do
with me being a drag queen.

That's just how I choose to
present myself to the world.

Me out of drag is who I am
on the daily. Drag is my art.

And it's literally
just like theater.

The thing is, is that
you have to accept

that drag is changing.

If you cannot change
with the times,

you will get lost in
history, that's it.

[camera whirring]

[suspenseful music]

- [Loris] So, my witch
bitch is going to be

very fetish, inspired
leather and latex bondage.

I feel like for this one,

I'm taking a much more
classical approach.

I'm going for something
that's instantly recognizable.

That's iconic rather than
trying to reinvent the wheel.

I think where I fell short
on my season was being able

to really hit the
challenge nail on the head.

I started working with latex

around the time we
finished season one.

Latex cannot be sewed
like a regular material.

If you sew it, it will pop,

you can't smoke any cigarettes
if you're wearing latex,

it can't be exposed in
the sun for too long.

So it's pretty intense.

My inspiration for
my witch is my mom.

She's a Wiccan and
a witch herself.

She's the person who
taught me freedom.

This is a tribute to
being raised right

and it's a tribute
to loving yourself.

- For the first look is a witch

and I went with like more
of a voodoo witch doctor,

kind of very African queen,
necromancing sort of witch.

I'm going for realism.

Like you will see
this bitch in Africa,

ripping people's hearts
out, delivering babies,

chopping they mother fucking
head off and cursing bitches.

That's what I'm going for.

Let's hope it looks good, girl.

No, she does, she
does, she does.

So I wanted to keep it
very authentic to Africa.

So this, I got an Impala skull

and now I'm just aging
it with eyeshadow.

I'm using black,
grays, and browns

just to make it look older.

So it's not like
super duper new.

It was very important for me
to go with the African route

because I always feel that
I'm unapologetically black.

So I just wanna represent
that in my drag.

- I would describe my witch

as an adaptation of the
surrounding environment,

a witch that derives from,
you know, the desert.

So this is for my witch concept.

I'm a lover of head pieces.

It's my favorite
thing in the world.

So basically the entire
structure of this

is just made from armature wire.

It's thin enough to be pliable.

I enjoy working this way
instead of just sewing something

because there's a lot
more danger to this.

I can't tell you how many
times I've stabbed myself

under the fingernail
with this wire.

You know, I'm very hands
on when I'm creating.

So like having something that
I can like instantly bend

and shape and mold in front of
me, it's stimulates my mind.

This started coming along

as like a very
spider-esque kind of feel.

So I decided to give her some
little fangs in the front

and those are just thumbnails.

So sorry to ruin the illusion
but they're just thumbnails.

- This year has been a
very trying on black people

just generally learning more
about like my personal culture

and things like that.

I really wanted to bring

representation like
that to "Dragula."

So I'm gonna be doing
an African moonbather.

So I decided to take it
more of a African approach.

I use a lot of moths and
flowers in my existing work.

So I also wanted to bring
those as well into this piece.

So I decided to do custom moths

that have posable
limbs and body parts.

This headpiece is just
literally a piece of wire

that I decided to bend to fit.

And I just glued flowers onto
it and attached the crystals.

I feel like a lot of people
feel like when you do drag,

you have to spend a
whole lot of money.

But I think some of
the best drag is made

from things you can get
at like a dollar store.

- So my witch is very
like bog witch-inspired,

like in the woods, she
likes to be topless.

So she just wears her little
skirt with all her bones

and all the like
twine tied around her.

So in this foam latex piece,

I would go about sculpting
it on a mannequin

that is very similar
to my body structure.

And then I would go ahead and
mold it somewhat like this.

And it would go in an
oven for a few hours.

And the next day I
would take it out,

pull it out and start
painting it, like so.

First I'm gonna go
in with like a purple

because I wanna have
like a really gross,

like purple-y undertexture,

but I still wanna
have a little life.

So I'm going in with more
of a rosy purple color

that I can feel a little alive.

I plan on doing these
little finger extensions,

as you see, this is
some casts of my finger

and I'm just gonna
wear these all over

so I can have a nice
extension, I love that.

So I have the whole outfit
and everything for the witch,

but I wanted to do
an extension to her

and I'm gonna actually
build a set for her

and really show
how she would live

and just really give her the
atmosphere that she deserves.

I just have so much
like positive energy

coming from this
experience already.

I feel like this is
mine, completely.

- Be ready.

Don't underestimate me
because I went home third,

just be ready.

- I'm Frankie fucking
Doom. I got this.

- [laughs] Witch please.

- I'm that witch, bitch.

- What?

- I'm that witch, bitch.

- This bitch is crazy.

[VHS Player turning on]

[suspenseful music]

- I just did my witch,
I feel really good.

I served a very
ethereal creature.

It feels great to
be back on camera.

It feels great to show
what I've made of again.

It feels great for the viewers

to see how much I've improved.

Got a lot more to
show and I'm ready.

- Oh my God, I just had to climb

through a fucking little hole.

I'm a fat bitch.
I can't do that.

And I had to walk my ass
up in these chanclas.

- So we just finished the witch.

I froze my ass off getting
into that cold ass water.

It was cold as shit,
but we got it done

and I'm ready for
the next challenge.

- All right, the
witch is back, y'all.

I just got done filming
my witch floor show

and it was everything that
I dreamed it would be.

These bitches really thought

that they were gonna
pack fiercer looks

and that they were
gonna outperform me?

Oh honey, not tonight.

[upbeat music]

I wanna be famous.

[soft music]

My brother and I used to always

do horrible pranks on
each other on Halloween.

One year, he runs up behind me

and put the paper
bag over my head,

and I fell down the stairs,

and I stabbed out my tooth.

The next year, I also
proceeded to push him

in an empty pool and
he cracked his skull,

which I'm not saying
I did that on purpose,

but watch out, bitches.

- [Producer] Those were pranks?

[laughs]

[suspenseful music]

[upbeat music]

- I think the
opportunity to compete

on season four would
be so incredible

because I'm at a point
in my life right now

where I'm ready to take on
a huge challenge like that.

I'm ready to put in the work.

I'm not concerned that
I'm going to be competing

with contestants who
made it to the top three

or the top two, because I
think that I should have been

in the top three in my season.

On season one, the Boulet
Brothers asked the question,

"Which one of your
fellow competitors

should go home and why?"

And all of my sisters listed
me as the weakest link.

That was the moment for me,

where I for the
first time realized

that none of these
people liked me.

Because looking back
on that challenge,

I feel like I kind of served it.

When you show up with a package
that's better than expected,

people tend to get
a little pissed off.

I don't think that that was
my time to be eliminated.

I should've truly
stood up for myself.

I should have said,
no, fuck you, guys.

And showed that real fight
to survive and to stay.

I just felt like lots
of people didn't like me

because I haven't figured out

how to present
myself to them yet.

People do misinterpret my
confidence for bitchiness.

And I'm okay with that.

I don't have a problem
with being a bitch,

but that doesn't mean that
people have not been jealous

or had negative
opinions about me.

I just think that that
comes from a different place

rather than them
not liking my drag.

- [Priscilla] Do I feel like
she's misunderstood? No.

I just think that, you
know, I love a person

who thinks they're the shit
and knows they're the shit,

but it's like, you don't
have to be annoying about it.

- [Frankie] She's actually a
really cool fucking person.

She just doesn't speak
how she should sometimes.

Or doesn't read how it should.

I would just give her
as advice to be real,

be cool, and just be yourself.

Talk to people like
you would anybody else.

- I feel much more confident now

and I would have no
problem telling anyone

who didn't like my drag that
they could go fuck themselves.

'Cause I'm that bitch.

You can be a bitch as
long as you're that bitch.

[upbeat music]

So, my current partner is James,

also known as Honey Davenport,

and he is a beautiful,
lovely drag queen.

We have a great
relationship together

and we found each other
during this quarantine time.

The quarantine just kind of
brought us closer together.

It cut out a lot of distractions
that we had in our lives,

like touring and performing,

allowed us to really
find each other.

We found something
really, really special.

I love that James can
always make me smile

regardless of how
terrible my day is.

But also he puts me in my place.

He lets me know when
something I say is off base,

he'll definitely check me.

And I think that's important
for me to have a partner

that does that because I'm
rowdy as hell sometimes.

[upbeat music continues]

So the second floor show
is the ghost floor show.

And my ghost is a
tribute to anyone

who has ever suffered
from suicidal thoughts.

My ghost look is a
tribute to my friend Zach

and I wanted to
make this a tribute

to people who struggle
with those feelings

of self-doubt and of
wanting to hurt yourself.

So this look is presented
in a half and half format.

The one half is the woman,

the victim who has been
plagued by these thoughts

and these suicidal tendencies.

And the other is the energy
personified, the demon,

the darkness that pushed
her to that point.

So my half and
half ghost costume

is made entirely out of latex.

One half is a male fit and
one half is a female fit,

which was really
difficult to pull off.

I have the hair split
down the middle,

the really dramatic sleeve here,

and the men's suit silhouette.

And then the women's kind of
Victorian silhouette going here

with two different
shoes as well.

So I might be walking
around more like a pirate

than a ghost, but
we'll see. [laughs]

[VHS Player clicks]

- I need to remain anonymous

because I can't let
anybody know this, okay.

She's my friend and I don't
wanna hurt her feelings,

but I keep seeing all this stuff

and I need everyone to know

that Loris is 100%
not that bitch.

She ain't, she's just not, shit.

[VHS Player whirring]

[plane rumbling]

[upbeat music]

- I was in the
Army for 11 years.

A week after we filmed
the second season,

my contract for
the military was up

and I did not wanna reenlist.

Mentally, I do feel like
the military prepared me

to be on "Dragula"
because once again,

I went through "Dragula"
with my leg broken.

You know what I mean?

I went to "Dragula"
with my leg broken,

still in six-inch heels.

Bitches are complaining
about standing up.

I didn't say one
motherfucking thing

because I am disciplined to do

what I need to do
to get what I want.

And I do believe that
it's a mix of my parents

and the military that
brought me up that way.

[laughs] My parents still
do not know I do drag.

They're really into
church and stuff.

So it's just like, it's
two different lives.

Praise the Lord.

My mom has never
seen me in drag.

She has never found a wig,
she's never found a dress,

she's never found heels, no.

The only thing she's
found was my makeup kit,

but they've always thought
it was like for stage.

'Cause I've always
been in drama. I've
always been in plays.

It is for stage,
but for me. [laughs]

I'm very, very sad that
she's never seen me perform.

But I'm sure she will.

She won't like it at first

because of all her little
church friends always gossiping,

but I feel like she'll
secretly like it.

But at the end of the
day, I'm a grown ass man.

I stand on my own two
feet, I make my own money.

So if she doesn't wanna be a
part of that side of my life,

then that's on her.

And the lies keep coming in.

[suspenseful music]

After I did "Dragula", I
got a lot of queer artists,

drag queens of
color to message me

and ask me like,
how did you do it?

How did you keep going?

And I just told them,

you have to have a thick
skin first and foremost,

you have to have an
even thicker skin

being a black drag queen wanting
to do this genre of drag.

People will always try
to put you in a box.

They'll be like, okay,
this is the black girl.

So she's most likely
gonna do this.

And I say to them, fuck you.

If I wanna go out there
and be butt ass naked

covered in blood, do
some in this moment,

some Marilyn Manson,
that's what I'm gonna do.

And I can bet you I'll make
more money than you do.

[sirens wailing]

So in November of 2019,

I got in a really,
really bad fire accident.

I was in the middle
of a performance.

I'm holding the torch and I
rushed to grab the accelerant.

[sighs] Man, I don't wanna cry.

And oh my God, oh my God.

And I blew it out and
I just got burned up.

It was the scariest
moment of my whole life.

It was just simple fact
that like accepting

that you are gonna die in
that moment was just so scary.

Can I have a minute?

- [Producer] Yeah.
Yeah, that's okay.

Totally fine.

- So the only thing I
could really, really see

as I was performing was flames

because my lashes were on fire.

I've seen the video
of me getting burnt up

and all I see is like,

people like watching
me run around on fire

and it's like, nobody
wanted to help me.

The only person, two
people that helped me,

was my drag daughter and
another friend that was there.

He poured a beer in my face.

Like if he didn't do
that, who knows, you know,

like I couldn't be
sitting here today,

but I thank God that I am.

I just really thank God
that I'm alive, you know.

- What happened to
Kendra is, I believe,

probably the worst thing
that can happen to a person

that puts their face
forward as their job.

That was heartbreaking to see.

But the healing is incredible.

It's like nothing
ever fucking happened.

She looks great and she's
back on stage killing it.

I hope she doesn't
play with fire anymore.

- I am 100% recovered.

Even the doctors were amazed
at how fast it happened

and when you're a fire
spinner, breather, whatever,

it's not if you're
gonna get burned,

it's when you're
gonna get burned.

And I just so happened to get
burned really fucking bad.

- I would love Kendra
to do fire again.

I think that like you
should take all of your,

no matter what it is,

you should take the thing
that scares you the most

and fucking put it full-force.

And if you don't, then you
shouldn't win this competition.

- Yeah, if I were a Kendra,

I'd think twice about
doing fire again.

'Cause that was scary, bitch.

I don't know if I
could go back to that.

That was some... [sighs]

- Even though I did get burned,

I actually did a whole look
based around the accident,

which is my ghost look.

So I will be doing
fire during that one.

I definitely wanna
prove to people

that I knew what I was doing.

Not that, oh, that's
just some girl

that's trying to
do something edgy.

I know what I'm doing
and I do it well.

Watch me get burned again.

So the second challenge of the
competition is a ghost look.

The symbolism behind my ghost

is that I wanted to showcase
that although I was burned

that fire didn't kill me, bitch,

you can't burn a real witch.

So this is like 40 yards
of tulle and crinoline

sewed, hand-stitched
on a hoop skirt.

And what I did was I put a
lot of the UV reactive paint

on it, like I
splashed it around.

So my whole body
is gonna be covered

in the same paint
that's on the dress.

So when the UV lights hits it,
the black sorta disappears,

that's why it's
tulle and crinoline.

And my body is
just gonna be shown

and it's gonna look
like I'm floating.

When they think about Kendra,
they think about Kendra,

the girl that does
fire, that's me.

[soft music]

[VHS Player whirring]

[dramatic music]

- So our second challenge
is presenting a ghost look,

which I'm stoked about because
I don't know a fucking thing

about the paranormal,
but I am going to be

the ghostiest ghost ghost
ghost that you've ever seen.

I decided to take a
natural-looking approach

in the form of a tree
this time. [laughs]

I like to take a different
approach to horror.

I use a lot of
inspiration from inanimate

and lesser common inspirations,
things that we wouldn't

necessarily deem as
frightening or scary.

I like to take them and
apply them in different ways

that kind of make people think,
getting in someone's head,

and playing on a fear that
they may have not had before,

and leaving them with
this disturbing imagery.

I think that that is
a longterm effective

in fear and horror.

The materials I used
for this was a lot

of drapery fabric,
like tons of it.

The actual dress itself
when it's spread out

pretty much covers my
entire living room.

So this is completely
distressed all the way

through every layer,
it's a fucking mess.

And I always start from the
bottom, work my way to the top.

'Cause the bottom naturally
when it comes to distressing,

the bottom's always gonna
be way more tattered

and ruined than the rest of it.

The only thing I can say
about using a box cutter

to drag it across this kind
of fabric is it catches.

So it creates
several little holes.

But instead of getting
one big one, which is,

you know, you kind of, once
you get too big of a hole,

you can't go back,
you know what I mean?

So what I did here
is I started making

all the tiny little holes
and then I took my fingers

and I stuck them in
there and just started

stretching them and
tearing them open.

And I actually cut my
finger with the fabric.

I was working with a seam
ripper and a box cutter

and somehow managed
to cut myself open

with the fabric itself.

It was like being sliced
with a piano wire,

it was very uncomfortable.

[suspenseful music]

I kinda named myself
after Salvador Dali,

like a legendary artist,
knowing good and goddamn well

that I would never be
able to fill those shoes,

that did not stop
me from trying.

But I think for me, drag is
what I want to leave behind.

Like the same way that
artists before me have

is to leave behind shoes
that are too big to fill

for someone else to, I
guess, name themselves after.

And then like, you're never
gonna like make it to this

but it won't stop
you from trying.

So it's like a
constant evolution

and this inspiration
of just pushing forward

and becoming better
and improving yourself.

You can take away all
the materialistic things

and the notoriety

and really just leaving
a fucking legend behind

and to inspire other
people to do the same.

That's what I wanna do.

My time on season
two was really fun.

I mean, it was
really odd to watch,

watching someone do so well

for like the first
couple of episodes.

And then I felt super
intimidated by just
about everybody.

My level of anxiety and
inhibition was just completely

blurring what was
presently in front of me.

I felt like I was just crushed
completely under pressure

because I was
still in the middle

of building my
character as a person,

not even as a drag
persona, but as me.

I feel like if I was to give
my 100% and I had failed,

I don't know that I
was in the head space

to bounce back from that.

So basically when it came
time for elimination,

I shut down completely.

And I just, I gave
up and was like,

this is as far as I can
go and I just accepted it.

And I was like, I just
stood there on the beach

and let that tidal wave hit me.

- I don't know why someone
would throw an extermination.

I don't know why she
would not be as into it.

I mean, it seemed like
she didn't really care

if she went home or not.

- Dahli definitely
gave up season two

and I wish you would've
did it episode three.

And then I would've stayed.

- I'm not gonna fault anybody
for being in that head space

especially being in that
head space before myself,

- When we give up, we are
leaving on our own merit.

We might be disappointing
other people,

but we're not disappointing
ourselves entirely

in that moment because that's
the only thing we can control.

We can take ourselves
away from a situation.

And that's, I mean, that's
what happened with me.

Ultimately, I do regret leaving.

I used to think about it all
the time, like regularly,

like every time you're
just like at home

and you open a bottle
of wine by yourself

and you think about everything

you've ever regretted
in your life.

That's always the first
thing that came up.

I know that I could
have went a lot further.

I felt like I could have
won looking back on it now.

I should have
stayed, but I didn't.

I am extremely
excited for people

to see who Dahli has became.

It's definitely a vast
difference and a huge evolution.

I've grown a lot as a
person underneath my makeup

and that's helped quite a bit.

[crickets chirping]

[rising music]

I was very vocal during the
Black Lives Matter movement

that's still happening.

I'm glad that there was this
big push for the movement

in the past couple of months.

'Cause it's really, I mean,

I believe that it's gonna
help in the long run.

It will change the future,

especially for the
younger generation.

I was raised where
the entire white side

of my family was
extremely racist.

My own grandfather
used to call me

like the "N-word" all the
time when I was a kid,

like just really fuck shit.

'Cause I'm of mixed
race and my mom is white

and I've never met my dad.

I know that I have my
own privilege of being

like white passing 'cause
I have a lighter skin tone.

I just think a lot of
people just see skin color

and immediately
just jumped to that.

I think just being
goth for so long

and just hiding in the
daylight and all that mess,

kind of just washed
me out for awhile.

I think the alternative scene
has their own war on race

that a lot of people
don't address at all.

It's very common
that people of color

that are into the
alternative scene

aren't looked at the same way

because as alternative people,

as like, you know, goth, punk,

we've always kind of associated
beauty with being pale

or light skin and
having certain features,

and these features that they
have made up in their own mind

and pushed forward as like
the surface vibe for everyone.

I mean, that's not gonna be
possible for a dark skin person.

So they're automatically
like kind of ostracized

in most of these
alternative groups.

'Cause they're like, oh,
you can't be black and goth.

That's a white person thing.
And it ain't though. [laughs]

[crickets chirping]

[VHS Player whirring]

[upbeat music]

- As for the witch,
I made a set.

So I decided for the ghosts,
they need the same thing.

So I decided to build a
whole morgue in my garage.

So get ready for that, you guys,

I came up with this amazing idea

to extend the story from
season two and Dr. Vicky,

As you know, I did a little
necrophilia on season two

with a corpse on stage.

So basically I wanted
a turn around the role

and be the victim and the corpse

that she had been
torturing this whole time.

So today I did a full
sculpt on a body form,

very similar to
mine, using a lot

of like human references
from real autopsies.

From that point, I took
it out from the mold

and got it ready for casting.

So I'm going to stipple
in some latex in here,

so you could see how I do that.

And from that point, I'm
going to throw it in the oven

and we're going
to cast our piece.

My skillset from season
two to now, I would say,

like really is just the
finessing of my craft

and being really
comfortable in my skin now.

When I was on season two,
I didn't know at the time,

but apparently I have an
acute version of Asperger's

that my parents failed
to tell me years ago.

So I'm like, wow, it
makes so much sense now

why I was so socially awkward.

I realized so much
from season two

and all of my issues, like
being social with the girls

and just like talking more and
having more of a personality,

it really like hindered
me, I feel like.

Realizing that now, I was
like, wow, I could have really

like, changed that by
even just telling you guys

that was what was going
on instead of just seeming

like this very quiet
girl in the corner.

And just like in her
head with loud thoughts

that you just don't know
what she's thinking.

So I think it's changed a lot.

[soft music]

- For the ghost, my
inspiration was La Llorona.

As a Mexican kid growing up,
my grandma used to always

tell all my cousins
and like family

that if you're a piece of shit,

this like monster was
gonna come get you.

Or that La Llorona was
gonna come take you

to the water and kill you or
whatnot for being a bad kid.

Clearly it never worked on me
and she used to get mad at me

for not being afraid of it,
like, where's that bitch at?

Let me see her. I wanna see her.

Mixing my culture into
my drag is something

that I just recently
got more into.

There's a lot of scary
shit in my heritage.

So I like to look it up and
kind of feed it into my art now.

It's my theme. I hate children.

[laughs] They're not for me.

So we had an old wedding
dress from a thrift store

and we were able to cut it apart

and kind of Frankenstein stuff
together to get it to work.

And it's actually
inspired by Kim Kardashian

from the Met Gala.

It's actually how I want it
to look, it looks perfect.

It looks gross, it looks
messy, it looks dirty,

but it's still really glamorous.

A beautiful woman died and
comes and takes your children.

There's more secrets to it,

but I'm not gonna
give it all away.

I don't want you
all looking like me.

[upbeat music]

- So for our next challenge,

it is gonna be inspired
by season two's runway.

And it's going to be a ghost.

Boo.

My inspiration for the
ghost is to be a sex worker.

This isn't just about me.

You know, I am
portraying a sex worker,

but this is for
all of those women,

especially the women of
color, who are being murdered.

And one thing that
people need to know

is that black lives matter,

but that also includes
trans black lives.

So this whole look
is gonna be dedicated

to all of my fallen
trans sisters of color.

So for the makeup,
I'm definitely gonna
do gray and white,

but it's gonna be kind of
like beaten up, so very smoky.

And then I was
like, you know what?

Let's pay tribute to
all of the fantastic

trans icons of
the '70s and '80s.

So I decided to go with
more of like an '80s vibe.

And if I can get this
down and nail this

and the vision
that's in my head,

if I can portray that to y'all,

I know I've got this entire
competition in the bag.

- My ghost look is inspired
by a classic sheet ghost.

There's things that
are very important

for me to keep with this.

One of the more important
things was the silhouette,

the classic
trick-or-treaters silhouette,

I'm just cutting the
eyes out of the sheet.

That was a big
inspiration for this.

So the premise behind this
look is during Halloween,

the folk tale is that the
veil between the underworld

and our world is thin.

So I took - I decided
to take that premise

of kids dressing
up like monsters

to hide from the monsters.

And I'm a monster
dressed up as a kid.

I chose to take
the idea of ghost,

the simplicity of a ghost,

like the children's ghost
of having just a sheet

and throwing it over your head.

But I also wanted to
elevate it in ways,

like making sure that I've
paid a lot of attention

to different textures
and movements.

The cat suit is actually
velvet and the way velvet hits

like, the moonlight, I thought
would be very interesting.

This concept's a little simple,

but if they get what I'm doing,

I'm definitely gonna
win this challenge.

- I'm doing fire again tonight.

And I just know that
I can't mess it up.

It has to be perfect.

And there's no other option..

- I guess I just say that I'm
just going into it confidently

and I just feel untouchable.

- My message to the other
contestants is simply this.

Be afraid. Be very
afraid. [cackles]

- I just finished the ghost.

Bitch, when I went out there,
I was fucking loving it.

I was doing all kinds
of slut '80s moves.

I mean, I'm pretty sure you
can see my entire asshole

during the entire thing.

- My ghost, overall,
I feel was good.

I mean, I had a moment
where I was like,

this is fucking stupid,
so the anxiety was there,

but you use your anxiety
to fuel your performance.

- Oh my God, I felt so good
about the ghost challenge.

I really like got
my life upside down,

like crab walking and
the worms crawling on me.

It just felt so right.

I felt like I could have been
in the ground and just dead.

I felt my ghostly oats.

- Oh, I think the floor
show went really well.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything

that I could see from
my angle. [laughs]

- [Saint] I just did
my ghost floor show.

I would like to see
who can top this look.

Season three Saint would
have been more scared

of what the other
competitors were doing,

but right now, I'm just
focused on what I'm doing.

I'm bringing some of the best
looks that I've ever produced.

And that's that on that, bitch.

[suspenseful music]

- I've always loved Halloween.

Especially growing up
as a kid, I always had

all the Halloween costumes
I could ever ask for.

I had a grandfather that
used to own a party store

and he had his garage full of
all the old props and masks

and things from his store.

From that point, I wanted
my own haunted house.

My parents had like
this upstairs loft area.

So I completely redid it

and started building
pretty much my own haunt.

I used to guide the
people through the haunt

with a flashlight and I would be

in full like character
the whole time.

And I'd be like giving
them a whole show.

Going forward a few years,
when I figured out drag,

that characterization, I wanted
to bring in to that persona

so I could do these crazy
characters anytime I wanted.

And it doesn't have to
be just for Halloween

or the haunted houses.

Now I'm actually working
for a third party.

We work on many theme
parks around Orlando

and really it's been
the best job of my life.

Honestly, it's one
of my biggest goals

that I never thought
I would be doing,

to say that I got to work on
all the haunted attractions

in the city I live in,
oh my God, what a dream.

It was unreal that I was
able to make the money I did

with something I loved so much.

When I first found
out about "Dragula,"

I was sitting in
bed with my fiance

and we saw the first preview
and we like shit our pants.

We were like, we
have to get on this.

Finally being able to be
on the show was a dream.

Opulence has been my biggest
supporter from the get go.

Opulence, if you didn't
know, is actually my fiance.

His name is Rock.

We've been together for
almost six years now.

It's, time has flown by,

but I couldn't do
anything without him.

He's the love of my life.

Like he has wanted me to
compete in this competition

from the moment we saw that
preview of the Boulets.

And he couldn't be more proud
of me and I love him so much.

My experience on "Dragula"
was pretty exciting, honestly.

Coming from season two to now,

I feel much more comfortable
as a person and an artist.

I don't think I won just
because a few reasons,

I feel if I shared more of
my personality on "Dragula,"

I would've had a better
chance at winning,

but since I was like
combated by all the strong

personalities around me, like
really like kept me quiet.

And I have a habit of just like
listening and like observing

what's around me instead
of like interjecting myself

for no reason, like some
people - James Majesty.

So I feel like that
hindered me, but now I feel

I can definitely have that
loud voice that I need.

- [Dahli] Me and Victoria
were really close on the show,

I think, as a lot of
people picked up on.

Even after the
show, shortly after,

we stayed pretty close and
then we started to drift

a little bit apart and
then it kind of just became

where we wouldn't talk
hardly ever at all anymore.

- She sent me home. I'm
not gonna like that bitch.

We're sisters now. [laughs]

- Instead of just
winning a competition,

I want people to understand
my passion behind this.

Winning this is definitely

the most important thing
to me at the moment.

I just want to just show
people, I'm your queen.

Winning the special and
getting to be on season four,

honestly, isn't
really what I want.

I'd rather compete on a
season full of champions

that I know could be
difficult to beat.

And knowing that those are the
top artists to compete with

instead of a whole
new cast of girls

that I've never worked
with before, I would rather

go in knowing that there's
some fierce competition

that would really push me.

And honestly, I
don't mind waiting

because I know
that's what I want.

I don't wanna win season four.

[crickets chirping]

[soft music]

Hi, welcome to Cooking
with Victoria Black.

Today we have some lovely worms
that are gonna eat my flesh.

So bon appetit!

[ominous music]

So for the last challenge,
we are actually doing vampire

and we are going to be
lip-syncing to Kim Petras.

I couldn't be more excited.

This one, I get to really
play up my true Victoria form.

Time period wise, I'm
looking at like 1700s, 1800s.

I wanna be like a vampire

that you wouldn't
necessarily know is a vampire

until they go in for
that kill and get ya

and start sucking
the life out of you.

Every detail is going to
take a lot of like thought.

So execution, I would definitely
think, is super important.

And I don't know
if a lot of girls

are gonna be able to do it.

Not knowing what anyone is
doing isn't really bothering me.

'Cause I can't imagine
anyone building a whole set

for their look like I did.

So I feel really good right now.

To win this would be honestly

the biggest like life step.

And I've always wanted to be
that icon for like Halloween

and being able to
showcase I'm that bitch.

- [Producer] So
you're that bitch?

- I'm that bitch.

That money package would
also be really nice,

especially since we're trying

to plan our dream
Halloween wedding.

So that would be
just so helpful.

[VHS Player whirring]

[suspenseful music]

- When I was competing
in season three,

I was my biggest roadblock.

I remember landing in LA
and I was nervous as fuck.

I had literally just got
done doing drag in my room

to now being on the world stage.

I was shitting bricks
the whole time.

It's hard being in a room with
all of those personalities.

I would love to lie
and be like, yeah,

I think so and so
should have went home.

But in reality, I went home
the day Maddelynn came for me.

Like I had mentally
already packed my bags.

I felt like a failure.
I felt like a failure.

Maybe I shouldn't
have been doing drag.

Somebody else maybe
should have had my spot.

Now, I feel powerful. I
know I can do anything.

I can create shit
out of thin air.

- St. Lucia is one of
those people that I believe

put their best foot forward
after the show aired.

A lot of us that are
like evolving artists,

take that, any kind of
critique that we can get,

even if it's coming
from ourselves,

and we apply it to
make ourselves better.

And I think that's definitely
something she's done.

- I think the Boulets
invited me back

because they've seen my growth.

I'm no longer like
this scared queen

who's sitting in the room

being attacked by
the catsuit queen.

I'm ready to show people
how much I've grown.

Show people a lot more of me.

People didn't get
to see a lot of me.

I'm gonna win this.

I have so much to
prove to myself.

I have so much to
prove to the viewers.

I have so much to prove
to the people around me.

My goal with drag has always
just been to exist and create.

Drag is what I'm supposed to do.

I'm supposed to be doing this.

This is like, this
is, this is me.

It feels like almost surreal
to be back in this situation,

like doing a vampire
all over again.

When I heard we
were doing vampire,

that one hit really
close to home

because I went home
the vampire challenge.

So originally, my vampire,
I wanted to do a part two

to the one I did that
I got sent home, man,

but I was just
like, you know what,

I wanna do something
unapologetically Saint.

And I love to do period pieces.

So I decided to take
you guys to the '60s.

The '60s, it was
a goofy ass time.

I've always used the rose
to symbolize my drag.

So when I was creating the look,

one of the things that I
was having a hard time with

was that psychedelic
'60s flower.

So I wanted the flower
to almost have like

to represent me,
almost like my past.

So I took the psychedelic
flower and almost made it

like it was crying a
tear for the loss of me.

For this floor show, to
drive mine over the top,

I've decided to build
a personalized set
to match the look.

Plus, I have a bit of a
psychedelic surprise for y'all.

I would love to win the money,

but being able to
compete on season four

and show people
how much I've grown

would mean a lot more than
anything money could buy.

It would mean a lot.

Like that would mean
the world to me.

That was one of my
lowest moments in drag.

So for one of my lowest
moments in drag to turn

into like one of my
greatest achievements

would just be, it would feel
like a redemption almost.

If I make season four, I won't
be anywhere where I am now.

I plan on being
better than this.

[suspenseful music]

Growing up, I didn't
have the best childhood.

My dad died when I was three.

My mom bounced around guys.

I got my first two
tattoos on my wrist

when I was 11 1/2 years old.

My stepdad had come home drunk

and he was going
on like a tirade

about how, you know,
I'm his son now.

He brought someone over who
had just got from out of prison

to tattoo his
initials on my wrists.

My first two tattoos that I got

at 11 1/2 were my
stepdad's initials.

So I've started tattooing
myself from 12 1/2

all the way into adulthood.

I figured my body was
already ruined from something

that I didn't want on myself.

So why not go the full mile?

Around the time when that
happened, I was in a lost place.

That was just my outlet
to express myself almost.

I've had conversations
with my mom

about, you know, not
having the best childhood,

but they're fruitless, they're
just fruitless conversations.

As a gay person, I
think we find community

in other gay people who've
had the same experiences.

I found community and
family in other people

who've had the same
suffrages as me.

[somber music]

So this particular
year has been,

it's been a very trying year
for black people everywhere.

Seeing like people
who look like me

be shot and killed with
like no justice done

has been really hard to watch.

And I sit, on a position
where I have a platform.

And at every given turn,
I've tried to use my platform

to bring more light
to that issue.

I was in New York
and it was right

after George Floyd was murdered.

I remember speaking on the
mic and I remember having to,

I remember being really
scared to speak on the mic

and it was really hard
to speak on the mic,

because like I was
gathering all my confidence

in going up there and
talking on his behalf.

And it meant a lot
to see people's eyes

like hearing me speak about
some man I didn't know,

but I know my platform and
I know I need to use it

in the best ways I can
to highlight people
who look like me.

And just being on "Dragula"
and showing queens of color

that you don't have to do
drag in any kind of way.

I always wanna like be, I
wanna be the light for people.

I want to show people,
I've always wanted

to create the stuff
that I wanna see.

And now I wanna make sure
that people are seeing

this stuff that I
create so they know

that they can create
things as well.

- I remember like
telling myself, if I
get to do this again,

I have to do better, like, I
don't care if I win or lose.

I just have to like do
better to like show people.

On my head, I recently
tattooed on my head

for the first time and
I tattooed my drag hand

and originally the
tattoo was supposed

to be my drag hand
touching my child hand.

Because I'm the person
that I wanted to be

when I was young or
that I wanted to know.

And I hope that people see
this and I hope they know

that they can do whatever
they want as well.

I know there's been so
many moments in my life

where I felt like I
couldn't do something.

And if someone would've
just told me like,

no, it's just right there,
you just gotta take it.

I wish that I was
that person back then.

And I'm so happy to
be that person now.

And I really hope
people who see this

know that that is just right
there, you just gotta take it.

[VHS Player whirring]

- My vampire, she is just
a high queen priestess

dripping in jewels
type of bitch.

And it represents for
me my whole drag career.

I started off like with the
glamour and the pretty stuff.

And then she's going to morph
into a slimy ugly vampire.

So what I'm doing now is
I'm using polymorph plastic,

which are little round beads
of plastic that are hard,

then that you put
them in the water

and then you can mold them into
pretty much whatever shape.

You can make horns, you
can make a fucking mug.

But I'm using it
to form my teeth.

It's gonna create
a form of my teeth

inside of these plastic fangs
so then they seat perfectly.

Oh shit, that's hot.

Oh shit, that was really
fucking hot. [laughs]

- My inspiration for the vampire
was to kind of go ancient.

Like the beginning of
vampires, the first vampire,

very Bram Stoker's "Dracula,"

where he becomes a bat creature.

- So I knew we were
gonna have wings,

I just didn't know how
they were gonna happen.

So this was made,

they were painted
and this is powermesh

with latex over them
and then airbrush.

So now it's kind of like flesh,

so they're pretty durable.

And we decided to go with
the glove so I can wear it.

And then it'll be
glued to my flesh.

So kind of just
becomes a part of me.

I'm a little concerned
about the lip sync

because we have to lip
sync to the Kim Petras song

and I am gonna be wearing
a full mask prosthetic.

I'm gonna see if I can
maybe cut a little into it

so there'll be more
mouth movement.

It's gonna be sex, it's gonna
be blood, it's gonna be gore.

It's gonna be "Dragula."

- So right now I am
working on my vampire.

And I'm going for like
a see-through, nude

blood splatter, just
dripping jewels,

and be very, very
elegant and almost

like an expensive vampire,

you know, she's got
a budget now, so.

So I'm wanting to do something

kinda like "Dusk till
Dawn" mixed in a little bit

with the Countess,
but like in a dive bar

just like, kind of like
true to my persona,

but also very fancy
and just trash.

- So I went for a
full like wasteland

cave-dwelling humanoid
that's basically

survived this like
nuclear bullshit,

whatever is happening actually
in the real world right now.

So we'll just call it
instead of post-apocalyptic,

we'll just call it 2020 vampire.

So this is the torso
piece for my vampire.

As weird as it sounds,
actually, my biggest inspiration

for like the tubing and
stuff came from "Dune."

They have these suits that
they er-made in the movie

and they basically
take the sweat

that their body would produce,

and they had this filtration
system that's built in

that turned the sweat
into drinking water,

and that's how they were able

to survive so long
in the desert.

So having these like
tubings and kind of things,

you know, vampires, obviously
you don't drink water,

but I mean, who's to say
there's not blood in these, so.

I don't think anybody
can come near it.

And I don't think that I can
be like replicated in any way.

And anything that I'm doing

is not gonna be what
someone else is doing.

- My vampire look is inspired
by current events and COVID.

It is a post-apocalyptic
viral vampire.

I am whipping up some
awesome fake blood.

The drag queens' old faithful.

And this is a
performance-based challenge.

So I'm a little bit nervous.

The episode that I went home
was a performance challenge.

This outfit is my only outfit
that doesn't really include

a lot of latex because I'm
going to be angle grinding.

And if I angle grinded,

my garment would
explode off of my body.

[suspenseful music]

- This is it. This is the
finale, I am so ready.

This is going to be amazing.
Get ready, you guys.

'Cause this is going to be
a performance of my life.

- I don't believe that
anyone with sound mind

and sight would
underestimate me.

- I'm going to win

because I feel like I
have grown the most.

I'm gonna tell yo ass to cut
the check. I hope it clears.

And give me my coin.

- I think that I'm the only
choice to win this competition.

My growth, since my season,
has been insane and unmatched.

I am like just that
bitch, girl. [laughs]

- This is it, this is all I
have. I'm giving you everything.

I'm throwing it all out there.

See you in season four, bitches.

- I strongly believe
that I can really

take what this show's all about

and show the world that
and just keep progressing.

And hopefully the world
can transition with me.

- It's important for me to
win the competition overall,

because I'm exactly the queen
that "Dragula" represents.

- This is my moment. And
I'm gonna take it this time.

[upbeat music]

[suspenseful music]

[intense music]

- I have to start off by saying

that I love our
demented little family.

- I do too.

I am so impressed
with everything

that they brought to the table.

- I don't think
that we've seen drag

performed to this high
level of artistry.

Like anywhere before.

It doesn't even
necessarily seem right

to be judging them per se,

like as if it were
like a normal season.

- Yeah, they've already been
through this competition,

they're all stars already.

So this is almost like just a
showcase on all of them again

but someone does have to win,

because we really
need to find somebody

who's going to kill season
four if they come back.

- Exactly.

Let's start off by kind
of going back in time

and begin with season one,
let's start with Loris.

- [Dracmorda] Okay.
- [Swanthula] I thought

it was really fun
to see Loris again.

- [Dracmorda] I believe fully

that Loris is the
best makeup artist

that's ever competed on
"Dragula," like hands down.

- So let's talk about
Loris's witch look.

- When Loris came out
in her witch look,

I was like, Loris
is gonna win this.

- [Swanthula] She really
showcased her ability

to work with
unconventional materials.

It was leather, it was
vinyl. It was flawless.

- Yes, but then let's
move on to the ghost look,

which for me fell
flat a little bit

because it didn't
really say ghost to me.

And I don't-
- [Swanthula] At all.

- There were so
many ideas going on.

It was like, this is a
tribute to my friend,

but this is also a
half man, half woman.

And it was all these
things but ghost.

- It was like, there was
a demon, we had staples.

Sometimes her interpretation
of the challenges

can be a little off.

- Let's talk about
her vampire look.

- I think her vampire
look was a cool concept.

It was sort of like this
futuristic interpretation,

like a vampire in the wasteland.

- Her performance
was incredibly weak.

- And it was a
performance challenge.

- She got caught up in the
fact that we were on location

at the train station and it
was night and it was dangerous.

And you know, she was
running out of time

and I think she panicked, she
was kicking her props around.

She said cut, at one
point, to the camera.

- [Loris] Can we make this a
little tighter, y'all. [laughs]

- [Producer] Keep going, Loris.

- I think she really
cracked under the pressure.

- I think that's
what happened too.

- So moving on, let's
talk about Frankie Doom.

- Yes, let's.

- And how much fun it was to
have Frankie back in our house.

- Frankie is so fun.

- No, Frankie is wild.

He's big hair, big
personality, big tits.

And that has not changed.

- [Dracmorda] Yes.

- One thing that
has changed, though,

is Frankie has gotten really
good with prosthetic makeup.

- [Dracmorda] Yeah, absolutely.

- If we look at his witch
look and it was a great homage

to the Grand High Witch
from "The Witches,"

Angelica Huston's shoes
are big shoes to fill

and I'm not sure if
Frankie filled them.

- He was really fun
to watch him perform.

But I did think it almost
felt the little cosplay,

which I'm not sure is
what we're looking for.

- When it came to Frankie's
witch performance,

he really missed the mark
when it came to the reveals.

She's marching down the
runway and it's mask gone,

hair gone, and three seconds
in, we're into the reveal,

and all of that anticipation,
it just wasn't there.

It was completely wasted.

- Let's talk about
Frankie's ghost look.

- When it came to performing
onsite at the LA river,

I thought Frankie was
completely fearless.

- Yes.
- We were in public.

She looked like such a ghoul,

but she was showing
off those shark teeth,

stomping down the runway, she
jumped right in the river.

And I thought that
the performance

when it came to the ghost
challenge was right on.

- I thought her makeup
was really impressive too,

for the ghost challenge, I
think she did a great job.

Let's move on to
her vampire look.

Frankie's vampire
was incredible.

If there was a living
embodiment of Fangoria magazine

in the '80s, it was Frankie.

- Oh, it was super punk rock.

It was vicious. Bram
Stoker's bestial.

Frankie was having a ton of
fun doing that character.

I think that
Frankie's was probably

one of my favorite vampires
out of all of them.

- Very Frankie Doom.

I thought that look
and performance was A+.

- Speaking of a good time gal,

let's talk about a season
two monster Kendra Onixxx.

- I've always said that you
should never judge a performer

based on when they go
home in a competition.

And the reason being is because
even if you go home first,

it just might not be the
challenge that was right to you.

It just might've been
unlucky that a challenge

you weren't strong
on came first.

You could have made
it to the end and won.

- Well, let's talk
about her first look,

which was her witch look.

I thought from the head
up, she looked amazing.

- [Dracmorda] Yes.

- I was a little disappointed
from the neck down though.

It just seemed too crude.

- It did seem more after
thought-y, the outfit itself

seemed more like ripped
up white material.

Although I thought the feathers

on the feet were a
really nice touch.

- [Swanthula] I agree.

- Let's talk about
her ghost look.

- I wanna start
with the fire gag

because it really captures
the spirit of this show.

- That's what thought.
- To face your fears.

- We didn't have
exterminations in this special,

but she found a way to
bring an extermination

and say, I'm gonna
face my worst fear.

So I have to give
her props for that.

I don't think the ghost
was her strongest look.

- Absolutely not.
- I don't.

I thought the dress was,
the gown was beautiful.

- I thought the hair was
like a really weird choice.

The body paint that was supposed
to give us this illusion

of her floating
kind of fell short.

I think overall the
ghost was a flat line

except for the fire gag.

- All right, let's move
on to Kendra's vampire.

I wanna say that
Kendra is probably

the strongest lip
syncer on the special.

- Kendra's vampire had
a few surprises for us.

The hair reveal,
all of that slime.

There were horns and you know,
pieces that she kind of hid,

the grotesque part
of her vampire, she
hid with that beauty

and then ripped it all off
halfway through the song.

It was really effective -
she's a great performer.

- Let's move on to Dahli.

- Dahli is a great
example and proof

that when the
question gets posed,

can you change as an
artist, the answer is yes.

- I love the texture of the
face. I love the headpiece.

It was just giving me
desert witch fantasy.

- That skin texture
was so effective. It
was transformative.

From the neck down, I had
a little bit of an issue.

I felt like it was
almost too simple.

It seemed like someone
laid out some fabric

and just cut it into strips,
it took me out of the fantasy.

- It was a little DIY,

but I can get down with
that if it's done well.

I think it was.

Interestingly enough, moving
on to Dahli's ghost look,

I thought that
looked a little DIY

in a way that I didn't favor.

- My interpretation
of Dahli's ghost look

was that she was presenting
as a plant spirit.

For me, it was something

right out of a Guillermo
del Toro movie.

I thought it was gorgeous.

- Dahli's ghost presentation
was almost religious to me

with the lighting and
that stigmata moment.

It was really
incredible. I loved it.

- Let's move on to
Dahli's vampire look.

Dahli had my favorite
vampire look.

It was from another dimension.

- It was absolutely
one of my favorites.

I think that she did a
great job with the look.

The lip sync was on point.

She had a lot of energy
in her performance.

I loved it. I'm
excited by Dahli.

I think that she has a
very unique perspective.

I think she brings something
new and innovative to drag.

- I would love to see Dahli
on another season of the show.

- Something I want to
remind you about Dahli.

When we cast season two,

I thought Dahli was
going to win the season.

So when she kind of gave
up and left, I was shocked.

- It was crushing.

- It was.

And to see her now
talk about it and say

that she regrets that
decision every day,

I just feel like she
just couldn't handle it,

but she's different now.

Now she could handle
it and that's exciting.

- That's very exciting.

So let's talk about
Victoria Elizabeth Black.

- Let's start with
Victoria's witch look.

To me, 10s across the board.

- Excellence.

I mean, Victoria's witch was
an example of excellence.

She was living, you could tell.

I mean, you could
tell the opportunity

to perform that witch was
everything she wanted.

- [Dracmorda] She
built that set.

I mean, how could you
find fault in that.

- Her ghost had nothing
to do with the challenge.

I mean, it was so
physical and like corporal

that it could never exist in
sort of like an ethereal world.

It was all grizzle and guts.

And it had nothing to do
with like spirit at all.

- I mean, if it was a zombie
challenge, she would have won,

but it wasn't, it was
a ghost challenge.

- And it was incredible.

And she built the morgue and
that was also incredible.

- Right.
- But when the challenge

calls for a ghost and
you deliver a zombie,

what are the judges
supposed to do with that?

So let's talk about
Victoria's vampire look.

- Victoria's vampire
look was beautiful.

I mean, it was gorgeous.

It was a scene out of an
Italian vampire movie.

- She, for me, delivered
like the most beautiful,

the only, the most important
concubine of "Dracula."

The only one of Dracula's
brides that actually matter.

- She performed
so well this time,

which is something she used
to not be as strong at.

- Super strong, 100% confidence.

Right, one of her issues
in season two was sort of

coming out of her shell and
showing her personality.

I feel like that is
no longer an issue.

Only thing I wonder is, and
this is a strange question,

but is it correct to have her
compete against a new cast?

To me, I almost
feel like Victoria

should be competing against
champions and winners only.

- She is a titan.
Victoria is a titan.

- She also seemed hesitant
to come back on season four.

She wants to win
this competition.

- Exactly.
- But she doesn't

necessarily want,
or she didn't seem

like she necessarily wanted
to compete on season four.

It's an interesting
conundrum with Victoria.

- It is.

- Let's move on to season three.

Let's talk about
Priscilla Chambers.

- Probably the most fun
we had on this journey

was with Priscilla,
I mean, she's so fun.

It was great to spend
time with her again.

- Let's talk about
Priscilla's witch look.

- Well, her coming out of
the swamp was incredible.

- With the taxidermy and
the worms in her mouth

and the hooks and the whole
grungy filthy kind of attitude,

I was smiling the whole time
because this is Priscilla.

This is the Priscilla
that we know and love.

- What did you think
of Priscilla's ghost?

- Priscilla's ghost
was top tier for me,

not only because it had
an incredible message,

but the look of it was so hot.

It was dripping with sex.

It looked like an '80 video

that I would've fawned
over as a little kid.

- The message that
she incorporated

into her performance
was so important.

It's amazing that Priscilla used

her floor show and her platform

to project that message
out into the universe.

- So let's talk about
Priscilla's vampire.

Priscilla's vampire look
was not my favorite.

I thought it was beautiful, I
thought she looked gorgeous,

but it sort of like fell
in the middle for me.

There was nothing that
jumped out that said,

hey, this is
memorable, I love this.

I think Priscilla's performance
of the song was strong.

She's a dancer.

And we don't have a lot of
dancers in the "Dragula" family.

So I always love to see that,

but I think her performance
sort of matched the look for me.

It was good, but we're
looking for great.

- So let's move on to Saint.

- I think Saint was the
most surprising competitor

that we had on this competition.

Saint is another great
example of a performer

who maybe went home
early on their season,

who hasn't been invited back
and has another opportunity

to show what they're made of.

And she blew me away.

So let's talk about
Saint's witch look.

- I love Saint's witch look,
I thought it was unique.

It was innovative. It was
something I didn't expect.

And it also wasn't so perfect
that it turned me off.

If that makes sense.

- Saint's witch look
was so imaginative.

It was so beautiful.

There was a lot
of skin involved,

which kind of
highlighted her tattoos.

It was sort of androgynous.

Her performance and her look
really just cast a spell.

- There was something fresh
and unique about her look,

- [Swanthula] It
was very unexpected.

- Moving on to her ghost look,

her ghost look was
my favorite look

of the entire competition.

- No, Saint's ghost look
was truly horrifying.

- I love that she took a
classic trick or treat ghost

- Exactly - and turned it

into something
scary and horrible.

I love the re-interpretation
of a classic image like that.

It's just, the whole
thing is horrible.

- [Swanthula] It
was so disturbing.

- So what did you think
of Saint's vampire look?

- Saint's vampire had a very
fashionable style to it.

It kind of brought
us on an acid trip

where blood was sort
of like the drug.

It was very imaginative.

Saint's vampire may not have
been the biggest costume

in the room or the
most expensive looking,

but it may have been
one of the most stylish.

- And she was great at the lip
sync portion of it as well.

The way that she opened
up about her story,

it was the first time
that any competitor

on the show shared their story.

And it literally brought
the whole crew to tears.

When we cast her
for season three,

I saw something special in
her, she has a star quality,

but she was so
covered and cocooned

when she was here and
now the cocoon has gone.

And I feel like the
person who she has become

is just really inspiring
and refreshing.

We have a lot to think about,

but I think I've
made up my mind.

- Are you ready?

- I'm ready.

- Israel, take care of
these packages for us.

- Trick or treat, uglies.
