Original subtitles

- [SWANTHULA] Previously on Dragula.

- I want to give an apology to all of you. For me

to take my anger out on people, it's not okay.

- I'm very sorry that I contributed to that as well. - Me too.

- I didn't come here to be safe.

- [DRACMORDA] You will design and create your very own

hairy monster creature and in our hairy monster challenge.

The winner is HoSo.

Sigourney and Jade, you are up for extermination.

- They never said anything about being filth-focused.

- I think they focused more on the fact

that you have been consistently bringing glamour.

- It's not my time.

- You know, I wish you the best of luck.

Hopefully I see you again.

(screaming)

(suspenseful music)

(opening theme song)

- [SWANTHULA] The winner of the Boulet Brothers Dragula

will headline the upcoming Dragula world tour,

receive a $100,000 grand prize courtesy of us,

and the title of Dragula,

the world's next drag super monster.

(suspenseful music)

- Oh, wow.

What the hell is going on?

- Redecoration.

- DREAD.

- I love Terrifier, what the hell?

I love this movie.

Terrifier, it's like one of my favorite movies.

"Art The Clown".

Which also would have been my horror icons

had I been here for it.

- What are they hinting at?

- Probably gonna have to do something to do

with the challenge today.

- I mean, they create movies, so.

- Are we gonna be a movie star?

- I'm ready for my closeup.

- I'm assuming all this DREAD stuff

has something to do with the challenge ahead?

I have no clue.

- We made it, bitches.

- We fucking made it.

There's only one spot for the top five. Who do you think?

- Who do I think coming back?

- Yes.

- My money's on Sigourney.

- I think Jade definitely went home.

Jade's head was just not in the game anymore.

She had a lot going on,

and Sigourney's definitely still in the game,

and still has that fire inside of her.

- I want her to come back. She's like good competition.

- She is an amazing competition.

- She like brings like glamour to the table.

- What about me?

- Fuck your glamour! - You do, of course.

But there's no one in the franchise

where that's been like the forefront of like their drag.

I would definitely love to see a scary Sigourney though too.

- I will say, it's not glamour, glamour and glamour,

you know?

Sigourney's been very consistent and strong

with her aesthetic and looks,

but hasn't shown a lot of diversity.

- [DAHLI] I've pretended to like you this long.

(Cheering)

- [DAHLI] My baby Beavs!

- I think Jade went home

because things just got to be a little too much for her,

and I think maybe like a small part of her wanted to go.

I didn't want her to go, but I also wasn't going anywhere.

Okay. Hi, I'm back.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

It was excellent and wonderful.

(screaming)

Just kidding.

The room was horrific. It's super tiny.

I walk in and it's got just like this nasty,

like eerie, like hospital-y, with like a one flickery. - Saw?

Yeah, no, very, very bad.

Like the lighting was gross.

- Was it was it overhead lighting?

- Yeah. It was truly offensive. It was offensive.

- That's the extermination part.

But they just had buckets of roaches everywhere.

I swear to god, I felt one crawl down off my face

to the side of my neck, and crawled around to the back,

and, bitch, that fucking thing got up underneath

my goddamn wig.

Oh my god. It's like trying to get underneath my wig.

Yeah. Too many fell in my titties.

I was surprised by how noisy the roaches are, honestly.

Too many legs, I would say.

But it was doable. It wasn't impossible.

It was more of like a mind over matter kind of thing.

No, I'm sad that Jade didn't make it.

- I know she was in a pretty bad head space

when we last seen her,

but Jade's really like proven herself in this competition.

- Oh, absolutely.

- If anybody has any doubts of Jade being a monster,

they can like.

- They've never met her.

- No, she belongs here.

- A Horror, Filthy, Monster.

She proved that over and over and over again

that she does belong here.

I think people will be like apprehensive at first

when they see her on the cast,

but she went over and beyond.

- She went to top six.

She came all the way to top six.

- She made it further than our first try, so what can I say?

- Good luck on the second time, Jade.

- We're gonna miss her.

- I'm gonna miss her.

- [SWANTHULA] Attention, competitors, attention, competitors,

please make your way to the main stage at this time.

- Welcome heathens and congratulations

for making it this far in the competition.

(cheering)

For tonight's challenge,

you'll be starring as a character in our horror short parody

of the exorcist called The Exorsisters.

You'll have to assign roles,

rehearse the script,

and create costumes for the entire short together.

It's a full on production and you're responsible for all of it.

- As a second part to this week's challenge,

you must design and create an original demon themed look,

and model it on the main stage during the floor show.

You can take your demonic design

in any direction you choose,

but we want to see your unique style of drag

present in the final product.

- Here to help you get ready for your closeups

will be special guest and esteemed drag director,

Peaches Christ.

(cheering)

Peaches directs some of the biggest

theatrical drag productions in the world,

and she'll be on hand to give you acting tips,

help you rehearse, and to direct your shorts.

- Your horror shorts tonight are sponsored

by independent film studio, DREAD,

whose executives will be on hand watching your productions

as they develop.

As a special reward for this week's episode,

the winner of the challenge will have the opportunity

to appear on the silver screen

in an upcoming DREAD movie production.

(cheering)

- To kick the challenge off,

we've arranged a special fright feat this week

in honor of Peaches Christ.

We're having a Peaches Christ eyebrow challenge.

So it's going to be your job to give us the biggest,

most chunky glittered rainbow layered eyebrows

that the world has ever seen.

We want full rainbow caterpillar from hell realness.

- Remember, my perverted little parishioners.

This is a hell of a challenge,

and while the prize may be heavenly,

the punishment should you fail

will see you cast into a pit of eternal darkness

where you may never catch your breath.

- How fucking cool is that we're given a chance

to be in a movie if we win?

I'm going all in for this challenge.

- Okay, but a movie? - We are fucking acting?

- Oh my god!

- And it's not just a movie, it's a DREAD movie. You know?

- I mean, I've never acted before, but I'm super stoked.

- I'm super fucking excited.

- I'm glad the first time it gets to be here

and in front of Peaches Christ too.

- Hello, ghouls.

(cheering)

- I know who Peaches Christ is,

and if you do drag, you should know who Peaches Christ is.

You ghouls must know that this is the fright feat.

You've heard the challenge.

You're going to paint this eyebrow right here.

- Peaches Christ has the most iconic eyebrows.

At one point, they're just huge caterpillars.

- Peaches' eyebrows go all the way from New York and back.

- You'll have five minutes to complete this challenge

and the winner,

who'll I decide after an intense examination,

will get to cast the movie.

This is your moment,

and your five minutes, it's gonna start now.

- Don't look. I'm not decent.

- I know that Peaches' eyebrows are high,

and well arched, and symmetrical,

and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

- I may be learning more about myself than I'd hope.

- I did more of a makeup artist approach

to Peaches' eyebrows.

I hope it gets me close to winning.

- Well, this is definitely nerve wracking,

and I feel sweaty as usual.

- Stop. Time's up.

Drop your brushes and rejoin me at the coffin.

Allow me to examine your artistry.

Whoa. Oh my goodness. Okay.

This is a little more John Wayne Gacy

than I would like to see myself as.

Love this, but the angles are kind of wrong.

Excuse me.

- They're caterpillars.

- They are caterpillars.

I thought they were barbed wire,

but they're actual insects with happy faces.

- This is my art!

- This arch right here, that's pretty correct.

But I would say it's maybe not high enough or big enough. - Oh fuck me.

And this right here.

Zavaleta, you're the winner.

This is our winner, clearly.

- This fucking bitch and these fright feats.

- At this point, I'm the fright feat master of the season,

so I'm excited to win.

- Zava won another fright feat.

Too bad she can't score another win.

- I'd like to introduce our next guest,

the writer of the film you're about to create,

it's Michael Varrati.

- Who's ready to get possessed?

I have here the script for Exorsisters,

which is the acting challenge

that you're going to be doing today.

I'm gonna pass it out,

but I hear it's up to one of you

to choose who plays what part.

- I played nice the first time..

Let's see what's happening this time.

- Zavaleta's gonna cast this show.

You're going to sit with the script,

learn your lines, and then meet Michael and myself

up in the rehearsal area for hardcore rehearsal action.

All right. Are you all ready?

- Yes.

- All right, let's do this, ghouls.

Oh my, oh my. I guess I have the power again.

I'm doing the same thing as last time.

I'm giving roles to everybody

that will make them look better.

Do good and good will come back.

Let me see.

- Oh, here we go with the seance again.

- Should we get the candles?

- So I'm going to be the priest.

- Work.

- Sigourney, we haven't seen some filth or horror.

You're gonna be the assistant.

- Oh, okay. Close to you. I do.

- HoSo, you're the teen,

and the two husbands are gonna be the two mothers.

Mother number one, mother number two.

- Come here, baby. I got something for you.

- Shocked that I didn't get cast as a priest,

but of course I'm a fucking mom.

- Come closer.

- 'Cause I'm the assistant.

I was so tickled that you wanted to be with me.

- [Sigourney] It's time for us to get to know each other.

- This is a new pairing.

- I'm surprised that Zava gave me the role that she did

because it kind of made us a pair,

that we had to work together.

In a dark room,

a teen twists and turns wildly on a stained mattress.

- I don't know how much longer we can wait.

- I'm better. I swear.

- We can't risk letting her out. Not yet.

- That voice.

- Saint's doing the smoker mom voice,

and I look over to Dahli,

and she's doing a Jennifer Coolidge voice.

- She went out one night and she just came back different.

Okay. I was trying to put myself in this like

white suburban lady head space,

and my favorite white suburban lady is Jennifer Coolidge.

- You send for a priest, doll?

- How did you know, boss?

- What are you gonna do to her?

- The cast is doing okay.

We have to try something new.

We have to find our fucking characters.

Some people are worrying me.

- Why?

- But let's see what happens.

- All right, goons. We got some acting to do.

- And remember, ALUGARD.

- This is gonna be fun.

Hurry up. Come on.

I love all the characters we came up with.

It's so campy and silly.

This is gonna be so fun and amazing.

- Welcome, welcome.

Oh, I love that you have chosen to stay glamourous.

- I'm a huge fan of Peaches Christ,

and the fact that she's gonna be coaching us

on how to act blows by mind. I'm so excited.

- We would like to invite you one by one,

and just give us a little bit of your character.

Maybe say a few lines.

So why don't we just start with mother number one?

Who's playing? Oh, alright.

- Oh, gosh. I just don't know how much longer I can wait.

- Mommy, let me out. I'll feast on your rotting flesh.

- Okay. I love this.

I would actually pull back

on the sweet manipulative thing.

Think creepier, quieter.

That, to me, is actually more disturbing.

- Let me out, please. I swear, I'm better.

- I think that's good.

It's something to build into. Excellent work.

- [Peaches] Could we see you do a a line or two?

- And I mean from the script.

- It's the old language. It's the only way.

- I like it, actually.

- I do too.

- Honestly, rehearsals are going better

than the last time that I had to be in a group and rehearse.

- Nope. Stop.

- Not exactly what I was expecting. Wow. Okay.

Well, your daughter's possessed,

but it sounds like you're possessed

by like four packs a day.

I'm worried about Saint,

'cause the voice is not working, baby.

- Hi doll.

- I'm the priest.

Very faguette.

He owns the church, gives to the poor.

- Zavas' gay priest is, I think, the very first time

that I've been like, it's hot.

Why is it hot? What's wrong with me?

- Here's one note for everyone, I think.

When doing good camp,

there has to be an element of earnestness.

If everything's at a level 10

and you're all doing camp all the time,

it stops being funny.

Believe what you're doing,

and then because you're drag queens, the comedy will come.

But actually maybe try less to be funny.

Does that make sense?

- What we are really aiming for, still,

is a scene of true horror in the spirit of Dragula.

- This is definitely a huge curve ball.

I know everyone wanted to camp it up a little bit

with this challenge,

so I don't know what they're gonna do now.

- The only way we can win this, is together.

- Don't you fucking try it.

- We can't risk letting her out. Not yet.

I don't see how Jennifer Coolidge and my smoker lady

were not based on reality.

I warned you.

- This child has been baptized by filth and horror.

- I'll swallow your soul.

- Nope. Stop.

- Yas.

- I don't know how much longer we can wait.

- I feel like with the mothers,

I honestly think you both need to be earnest.

I might pull back on the Jennifer Coolidge

and I might focus on really having

that sense of urgency and fear.

And I would say that even with you,

you need to pick up on what she's putting down.

So I would say lose the voice.

I hate to take your comedic moment away from you,

but we all have to think about the bigger picture, right?

- You have to know what kind of movie you're in

in terms of looking at the material

and seeing what the the material asks of you.

- I think it's gonna be stronger for both of you.

- I'm thinking that I really shit the bed on this one.

I'm gonna have to go back to the drawing board.

I know you're not gonna like hearing this,

I think the "yas" might be too much.

I love the idea of the Walter Mercado inspiration,

but their strengths and who they are.

There is a power to who they are.

So I would say be very careful that you,

as a queer person playing this person,

that you do it with the respect and the power they deserve.

So you're gonna want to read through the script

and really decide on where you might actually slip into

a mockery of that effeminate, powerful man.

- Peaches Christ knows what she's talking about.

So any advice that she gives me,

I'm willing to listen and learn.

- Well, ghouls, Michael and I have had an absolute blast

workshopping with you today.

We cannot wait to see the final product.

And of course, one of you is going to become

a bonafide movie star very soon.

Best of luck, break legs, and we've had a blast.

- Thank you and good luck.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Another day.

- Another day.

- So today is the day for the demonic floor show,

and I'll be applying my critiques from last week.

I'm gonna give them filth and I'm gonna give them horror,

but I'm still gonna give them titties.

- How do y'all feel?

- I wish it was a little bit more campy,

but I guess I can get into a serious Oscar moment.

- I can see why the campy reading wasn't the best option,

but that's what I wanted to do.

- Oh, yeah. We were totally caught off guard

by what was said, right?

- Oh, yeah.

- It was extremely helpful having them both there though.

It made a lot more sense to me after I was like, oh, okay.

Really just like pulling back, like the campy aspect.

'Cause if you're screaming all the time,

no one can hear what you're saying, you know?

- Definitely. It was a lot to think about

and to make the changes so that we can be successful.

- Absolutely.

Oh, I'm thinking this acting challenge

is gonna be a total shit show.

Just getting that one critique

that we're taking it in the opposite direction,

everyone has to like reconfigure their entire character

in the short amount of time.

It's not.

- All right, let's go to it then, huh?

- Okay, sister.

- In addition to doing our acting challenge this week,

we also have to present a demon runway.

My inspiration is going to be this really nasty blood demon.

Right now, I'm just pre painting these little prosthetics.

Attaching this to my body, it's rather simple, actually.

This is just foam latex.

So I'm just gonna use like a water base adhesive,

like Prose-Aide.

Just apply it on this side, apply it to the face.

It's all about just getting those paper-thin edges

to blend into the skin nicely for a seamless look.

- My demonic floor show,

I decided to go a little bit of a different route.

Like, I'm Saint,

like my whole character is based around religion, almost.

I decided to do the highest demon of all, an angel.

As far as Peaches' notes, I received them really well.

I need to somber up my performance

and make it more believable.

I'm the mom and my child is possessed.

- For my demonic look,

I was going for more of a drag king look.

This is gonna be a business savvy demon

that's gonna sweet talk you into selling souls to him,

but is gonna fuck you over at the end.

I'm working on a prosthetic right now.

It's made out of foam clay and liquid latex,

and I just build texture onto it.

There's gonna be this eye enlargement

that's gonna look very gross.

I added all these teeth to it

and alcohol paint to make it look grimy.

I also have my middle finger casted

and multiplied to have as a horn.

I'm gonna be flipping off all these bitches

from all different directions on my forehead.

So yeah, that's the mood.

- My demon was inspired by plastic surgery and sex,

which both of them, I love.

So yeah, I'm just creating a new silhouette,

bringing Zavaleta to another level, and I love it.

I don't follow rules, but when it comes to theater or dance,

you have to listen to the critics

in order to make it better.

They don't want me to go full yas, mama god,

so I had to incorporate that, and listen,

and still be the star, but listening to the critiques,

'cause teamwork makes the dream work.

- I wanted to do something biblical, like ancient.

So I'm going in kind of more of like a Lilith direction.

She guards the gates of hell, and so do I.

Anything bad that can go wrong with childbirth and with kids

is always blamed on women.

So inherently, it turned out to be the number one trait

in all female monsters.

And being so womanly myself, how could I not?

In the acting challenge, I have a total of four lines,

but I also have a very emotive face.

So I'm going to be doing a lot of reacting,

lots of like body language,

and I'm really gonna to try to focus

on pulling all of the attention to me silently.

Because there are no small parts, only small actors.

- Is anyone nervous?

- I'm nervous for my makeup.

- Why? Are you like doing like a?

- I don't know. I have not idea what I'm doing.

- Are you gonna do a male form or a female form?

- Well, there's gonna be an eyelash.

- Well, I mean, everybody has eyelashes, darling.

- Do you have any ideas?

- [Sigourney] Being old, being creepy.

- Do you want to be filthy?

- Do you have any ideas?

- I do.

- Tell me more.

- Like a messy hair.

Strings all over your body, kind on the wet look.

Make this sunk in. You have green eyes.

You can put brown and add like different shapes.

Instead of going up, you can just always drag it down.

- Hell yeah. Thank you.

- Welcome.

- Drag queens are so nice, like.. - fuck off.

(electro music)

- [Speaker] Attention, competitors.

- Eyebrows.

- [Sigourney] Oh, fuck.

Looks like we gotta get the hell out of here, guys.

- Listen, doll. I am ready for my close up.

- Let's exorcize this demon.

(dramatic music)

- Hello, uglies.

This week, we've challenged our competitors

to put their acting skills to the test,

and star and the Boulet Brothers Dragula

horror short, The Exorsisters.

- As a second part to this week's challenge,

our drag monsters must also create original looks

inspired by demonology,

and feature their infernal creations in

tonight's floor show.

- Here to help us judge this week's challenge

is the star of Ash versus the Evil Dead,

the disgustingly adorable, Ray Santiago.

Ray, darling, it's such a pleasure to have you with us.

- Why, thank you.

I'm so happy to be here

and play with all your little monsters.

- And also joining us on the judges panel tonight,

is activist, actor, and star of Freaky, Misha Osherovich.

- Misha, it is so lovely to have you join us.

- It's absolutely awful to be here.

I'm very excited.

- Now, it's time to see how our actors fared

in our new horror short, The Exorsisters.

(creepy music)

- I'll feast on your rotting flesh.

- I don't know how much longer we can wait.

- What's happening? Where am I?

Get me out, please? I'm better, I swear.

Just get me out. Please.

- Don't believe her.

- But what if?

- We can't let her out. Not yet.

- Mom? Mommy? Just let me out, please.

I swear I'm better.

- Is it you baby? Is it really you?

- It is. I promise.

- Okay, okay. We're gonna get you out.

- Fuck me! Fuck me!

- I warned you.

- Fuck me! Fuck me!

You okay?

I warned you.

- I know. I just hate seeing our little girl like this.

- Mommy dearest.

- Oh my god.

- What the fuck?

Come on. It's him.

- Okay, he's here.

- Send for a priest?

- My child is.

- Gay.

- No, possessed.

- Right, right, right, right. Possessed.

As I expected.

- How did you know, boss?

- Evil has a particular...

- What the fuck?

- [Priest] Flavor.

- Don't you fucking try it, priest.

I'll drag you and your little friend

in the fiery pits of hell. With me.

- Promises, promises.

How did it happen?

- We don't know.

She went out one night and when she returned to us,

she was just different.

- I met two white haired witches in the dark of the night.

They gave me a gift.

- They turned you into a monster.

- This child has been baptized in filth and horror,

and has been swallowed by darkness.

- I'll swallow your soul.

- Prepare for the ritual.

- What are you doing?

- What needs to be done.

- Don't you fucking try it.

- I cast you out!

- Our baby!

- Out, demon, out!

- ALUGARD!

- It's the old language.

It's the only tongue the vermin fears.

It's the only way.

- We must exterminate the parasite.

Join me. The only way we can win this is together.

(All screaming) ALUGARD! ALUGARD!

(All screaming) ALUGARD! ALUGARD!

(All screaming) ALUGARD! ALUGARD!

(All screaming) ALUGARD! ALUGARD!

- (DEMON SHRIEKS)

- The undesirable part is cast out.

You may untie them.

- It's okay.

It's all over now.

(DEMON) It is!

No!

Please. Why? Why?

- It's not personal, it's just the will of our lord.

(Mother 1) But you said!

- That I cast out the undesirable part? Yes.

- You said you were a priest.

- I never said what kind of priest I was.

(maniacal laughing)

- Well, that was blasphemous, and I loved it.

- Now, let's light the candles.

- Start the ritual.

- And let the summoning begin.

(dramatic music)

- With a theme like Exorsisters

and a floor show based on demonology,

I was expecting the best,

and I feel like I got the farthest from that.

- They're getting tired.

- It was totally underwhelming.

I feel like everybody needs to get exterminated tonight.

- You know, I understand where you're coming from,

but it's brutal. It is brutal.

They're having to do so much drag, so many looks.

They're getting critiqued.

We're throwing them in all these torture chambers and all,

so there's a little good stuff in there.

But the rest of it's hard.

- I understand that,

but you only get this opportunity once,

and you can't explain it away

once it's released to the world.

So they need to recognize what's happening,

and everybody needs to like, kind of pick it up.

- We're down to five competitors,

and I have no idea who's gonna make it.

Usually I have some sort of idea of where maybe it'll go.

I have no idea.

- Usually by this time,

we can see people that are kind of pulling out in front.

There are still five very strong horses in this race.

- Each one of them has unique strengths.

Each one of them has an interesting story to tell.

Each one of them has something new and unique

that they could bring to the Dragula family,

and it's just getting so hard.

- I wish we had a little more time with all of them.

- I agree, but I will say one thing in particular,

Saint, I cannot get her to understand this critique

about her performance in the show.

Every single judge that has been in this booth

this season has given her the same note.

- You are screaming at the choir

because I've told her half a dozen times,

like you look immaculate,

your ideas are very fashion forward.

You need to give us some energy.

- You know, I think it's interesting

the idea of having a competitor who goes onto the top three

and potentially wins,

that maybe isn't like a shablam queen.

Maybe she's a little quieter, and a little more artistic,

and she has a really unique perspective. I'm okay with that.

- Listen, we have fabulous guest judges to join us

and help us judge us for show

because I think we're gonna need all the help we can get.

- True.

- Before we begin, I want to remind you, as always,

that we are not here to judge your drag.

Drag is art and art is subjective.

What we are judging you on is your drag

as it relates to this competition and the challenges

that we have put before you.

- Tonight, we will be judging your performance skills

in our Exorsisters short film,

as well as your individual demon theme floor shows.

The judges would like to offer you some critique,

and we're going to start with Dahli.

- You took direction pretty well.

I think you did a pretty good job.

My complaint with you

is that you chose to keep your face white.

I can see how maybe you are trying to stay on brand,

but this might be a challenge where staying on brand

would be a mistake

because it's set a tone for the whole scene

that was outlandish from the start.

It would be hard to pull the whole thing back

to make it serious because of that.

- As far as the acting challenge, I wanted you to listen.

Part of acting is being able to be a part of the scene,

even when it's not your line.

I saw you thinking a little bit.

I would have much rather seen the character in action

reacting to what was going on.

- I wanted to see more vulnerability as a mother

who was losing her child.

As far as the floor show goes,

I thought you had a really good start.

You had your movements down,

but then you didn't have anywhere else to go,

and I really wanted you to sort of build on that.

- So I kind of love this character tonight.

I imagine that torment is your currency

and everyone is paying.

I feel like this is similar to some of the other looks

that we've seen. I know this lives in your world.

It would just be exciting to see something wildly different.

I know that you can do it,

but I want everyone to see that you can do it.

- Okay.

What's that feeling when like all hope is lost?

Hopeless? Embarrassed? Completely disintegrated

because I feel like I just have no room for error

at this point. It's too close.

- Sigourney.

- Honestly, you did steal the show in the acting challenge.

I was really impressed.

I know what it is to have a small part

and to make the absolute most of it, and you did that.

You trusted your comedic instincts

and it sounds like you were told to maybe

tone down the camp a little bit.

I was a fan of the camp that you did bring to it.

- Thank you.

- I saw you in your head for the first time tonight on stage

when things weren't going exactly as planned,

which I hate to see, but it happens to everybody.

I liked that you took our notes

on asking you to become more filthy,

but I still think you could have pushed it a little further.

- Lord knows I love a gimmick, I love a prop,

but you can't get lost in it.

I wanted you to let go of those babies

and show us the monster that you are.

Don't let them run you, you run them.

As far as this look tonight,

you did serve us filth, you're outside of the glamour box,

and I appreciate it.

It is desperately simple though.

When I think about a hundred thousand dollars

and the fact that there are only five of you,

to choose something so stripped of detail

and to be so simple, it's very risky.

- Sigourney is definitely showing us filth, but also,

she's showing us a piece of fabric wrapped around her waist.

- I know that this was a very simple outfit.

They didn't say it was just a piece of fabric.

It was Hoso that said that because she's fucking jealous.

- Let's talk about Zavaleta.

- As far as the acting challenge goes,

I thought you did a really great job.

If there was a reboot,

I would definitely cast you as the priest.

You had this like Boy George vibe.

I thought like you really brought a lot to the table.

I thought it was great.

- Thank you.

- Floor show wise, I think this is the first time

I've seen fear in your eyes on stage.

Things were malfunctioning and coming apart,

and I hate that, but it did happen.

It just wasn't your best stage performance, I suppose.

- The way I saw it is you decided these got to go.

I don't know if they were like holding you down or not,

so you decided to destroy them,

and I was lost in the story of your character.

It was a little confusing.

- I wasn a fallen angel because my fucking wings broke.

I had to act something.

I have to pull it out from my ass.

- One fell down. I had to continue,

and I'm not gonna just stop and freeze.

I have to continue, run, run, run,

because it's a performance.

- You're a great performer and you rolled with it.

It just confused the story for us as judges.

- In the acting challenge, and here on the floor,

you have the magnetism. You take up the space.

You don't have to push it to an 11 to get us to believe

that you're an amazing performer.

- Okay. Thank you, thank you.

- Saint.

- Hello.

- Oh god. That voice.

I'm so glad that they gave you the note

to not do that voice.

Even though it was funny, I think the performance

that you ended up giving was quieter and better.

Your look is just deadly.

It was a thought provoking idea to go in this direction,

and I think it was smart.

- You had one shot with that vomit take and you nailed it.

That's key on a horror set.

You want to get that in a one and done

because there's no time to clean it up,

so good job doing that.

I love this look. I thought it was beautiful,

but I wanted there to be a couple more heartbeats

because I feel like it fell a little short and plateaued,

because I got the softness, but I wanted to feel

the blood pumping just a little bit more.

- I want to echo that.

I don't want you to get aggravated with us

giving you the note, because the thing is,

if you don't hear from us, you're going to hear it

when the show comes out.

And we don't want you to come out here

and shablam all over the stage.

Doesn't make sense for you, won't work.

But we do want to encourage you to push, push, push,

and hopefully very soon,

because nobody knows what's gonna happen

over the next few episodes.

I'm gonna talk about your performance in the short.

I think you were great.

I was like, this is a character that I feel like

I could see getting murdered in a horror movie.

- You were listening to everything that was going on.

You did have a perfect horror film reaction

to the goop coming at you,

and I think that you did a wonderful job there.

When you're in those situations, that's what you want to do.

You want to let go,

and I kind of wish I saw a bit more of that freedom

on the floor show

that you kind of had when you got vomited on.

- Thank you.

- Hoso, I really love this character.

It was so imaginative, and so wacky and fun.

This is Beelzebub crossed with Beetle Juice.

You showed us something different and that's very exciting.

I want to see a range.

- And in the acting challenge,

I think that you did steal the show a little bit.

I would have liked to see you maybe put a little more

characterization in it to reinvent the character,

because that role is Dragula 101.

Any of us can get up there, and roll around,

and puke, and act crazy

because that's like what we're made to do.

But overall, yeah, I think you did a good job

in the floor show and in the acting challenge.

- Thank you.

- I really love the attention to detail

with the teeth and the prosthetic.

I mean, it really completed the whole look for me.

As far as the challenge goes, I thought you did a great job,

but it's an easy role.

You really needed to bring something new to it,

and that was the only part where you kind of like

left something out for me.

- I stayed too close to the original, I agree.

- I am going to disagree.

Yes, it's an easy role, it's the starring role,

but you did something that if I was a casting director,

I would call you back for.

You changed tactics.

There was a moment when the demon decided that the way

to get what they wanted was to be nice and sweet,

and the daughter, again, and that is horror film acting.

That was wonderful. This look is fully realized.

If anybody's gonna take notes on how to use a prop,

that's how you use a prop.

It was part of your story, it did not overpower you,

and we got to pay off with the key turn.

Bravo. Very well done.

- Thank you.

- Now, with all that out of the way,

there could only be one winner in tonight's challenge,

and that winner is

Hoso.

- Yes!

- Hoso, congratulations. You have won this challenge.

It will be featured in an upcoming movie produced by DREAD.

You may leave the stage.

- I cannot fucking believe

that I won two challenges in a row.

Now I know that they're not gonna underestimate me.

- Saint, you will also be moving on to the next challenge

and may leave the stage.

- I'm not mad at it. It should have been me.

I gave a really convincing mom one.

No, I was mom two.

I give a very convincing mom two.

- Zavaleta,

you are up for extermination tonight.

- Dahli, you are also up for extermination tonight.

- Sigourney, my dear,

you are also up for extermination tonight.

- Ugh. God fucking dammit.

The extermination challenges are fear based trials

designed to test if you have what it takes

to remain in the competition.

They are a final chance for you to prove

that you embody the dangerous side of drag

that Dragula represents,

and come out on the other side as a stronger competitor.

- Demons were made to be bound,

and tonight, we have a special binding created just for you.

For tonight's extermination challenge,

you will be taken to our "Chapel of Calamity",

where you will be bound to the wall

inside of a latex vacuum chamber.

- Oh, what the fuck?

- Your objective is to face the fear of suffocation

and the inability to move for as long as you can muster,

all the while working to expel

those inner demons of self sabotage.

- We will consider your scores in tonight's floor show,

along with your performance

in tonight's extermination challenge

to decide which of you will continue in the competition,

and which of you will be cast

into a lake of fire and brimstone.

- Good luck to all three of you.

For one of you, this truly is the end of time.

(laughing)

- I know that my floor show did not go as planned.

It seemed to be one fuck up after another.

I feel very doomed to be in the bottom.

- Congrats, Hoso.

- First one to get two wins.

- Hoso having two wins,

delighted for her, very jealous,

'cause now she's the first person

with two wins the competition,

and that can give you a little bit of an upper hand,

even if it's just a confidence boost.

- This means so fucking much to me.

I know like this is gonna push other Asian girls

to know that, no, all drag isn't just for white people.

Saint too. Me and Saint doing this-

- Every episode that we do here, we're making history.

- Oh, yeah.

- And Zava.

- And Zava, yes.

- Fuck my Mexican roots.

- I'm doing my thing. Thank you, thank you.

- And you as a non binary performer.

- We are all making history.

Every single episode we're on here, we are making history,

and that's part of the reason why this is the strongest

top five in Dragula history.

- We all represent something,

and I feel so fucking proud of this top five,

and proud of me.

I'm an immune compromised person.

I've always had a lingering feeling of my life

not amounting to anything, in ending early.

Going through chemotherapy,

and having cancer very early on,

I was always kind of riddled with this fear of like,

I'm just gonna drop dead one day

and everyone's gonna say, as expected,

and I'm not going to amount to anything

because I haven't done anything.

But then to do this competition and to present my art,

and where I'm from, and my heart and soul,

and it being immortalized,

if I dropped dead, I'll be happy.

I learned so much about how I process fear and process pain

in my mind throughout chemotherapy.

It's made me into a fearless person.

It is reason why I am the artist

and the person that I am today.

- I love Hoso.

- She has gone through shit.

So for her to realize what life is, being that age,

it's just incredible. I have respect for Hoso.

Live your life to the fullest.

- I mean, at this point, every single one is bringing it.

Let's hear it.

Why do you think you should stay to the top four?

- I absolutely have to.

There has to be a reason why I keep getting brought back

and put in this situation over, and over, and over again,

and I feel like it's a fucking test.

Last time, I fell short

and I don't want to go out that easy again.

I completely just shut down.

But I need to do it for me, if not fucking anybody else.

The first time that I was up for extermination of my season,

I kind of just gave up

because I wasn't looking at the bigger picture at the time,

and I wasn't willing to do what it took to get there.

This time, it's completely different.

I have to get through this.

There's no way I'm not getting to the top.

- I know that my name is up in the top three,

and I'm not gonna lose it.

And I'm gonna to do every fucking thing that I have to

to make sure that I get there.

I worked so hard. I'm not gonna lose it.

- You work hard. I work hard too.

It's to the point where I can feel it in my bones.

I did not come here just to prance around

and see what happens.

No, I came here for a goal.

This is my dream.

I will fulfill my entire dream, and it's the top three.

This is not over. It's not over.

- I don't think Zava's gonna go home at all,

and I don't think Dahli's gonna go home either.

If anything, I think I'm gonna go home,

and I'm terrified because I'm so fucking close.

I can't lose it now.

- I think it's between Sigourney or Zavaleta

who's gonna go home.

They both have been kind of stumbling at this point.

It's anybody's call.

- It could be me. It could be Sigourney. It could be Dahli.

It could be anybody.

- And Zava, I finally just won you over.

- No, no no..

- Listen, I'm glad I met you.

- You have nice fashion.

- Hold on, I have to throw up a little bit.

Whoever goes home, it was nice meeting you.

At the end of the day, it's their decision.

- And this is really the first time I feel like

I genuinely have no fucking idea who's going home.

(dramatic music)

(sharp electronic music)

(suffocating noises)

(eerie music)

(classical music)

- (Zavaleta) Oh my god, please. Oh my god, I'm scared.

- (Zavaleta) Oh my god!

(Screaming in agony)

(choking noises)

(discordant piano playing)
