00:00Previously on Dragula...
00:04Tonight's challenge is an important one
00:06because it will ultimately determine
00:08who the final three of the season are.
00:10You must use your cunning and creativity
00:12to completely reinvent a classic horror icon.
00:16The winner and the titan who is guaranteed a spot
00:19in the grand finale is...
00:21Hoso.
00:22Work. Work, bitch.
00:24I'm delighted to tell you
00:26that all four of you will be ascending
00:28the staircase of souls,
00:30and only two of you will be returning.
00:33No one seems to believe that I'm going to be in the top three,
00:35and I want to prove all of y'all wrong.
00:37I will feel incredibly dissatisfied
00:39if I don't make it to the finale.
00:41I love what I do,
00:42and I feel like I'm only showing myself
00:44as authentically as I can.
00:46You haven't seen the last of me because...
00:52Our top three titans.
00:55We will have our grand finale
00:57where the Battle of the Titans will come
00:59to its final conclusion.
01:19Oh, there you are, my spectral little spectator.
01:23I was starting to worry that seeing so many of your favorites
01:27drop through that trap door
01:29would be too much for your fragile little soul.
01:32But here you are, back for more,
01:35and at just the right time.
01:37We've had a lot of fun here so far, haven't we?
01:40We've laughed. We've cried.
01:44We've watched in horror as your favorite competitors
01:47have been obliterated right before your very eyes.
01:52We've made such memories together.
01:56But alas...
01:57All bad things must come to an end,
01:59and we were just getting to the good part.
02:02Because you see, tonight, in just a few moments' time,
02:06we will witness the final floor show of the competition.
02:09The grand finale,
02:11which will determine who will be crowned
02:13Dragula's first titan.
02:18Oh.
02:19And if you think our little surprises along the way
02:22have been over the top so far,
02:24just know this.

03:11will headline the upcoming Dragula World Tour,
03:14receive a $100,000 grand prize courtesy of us,
03:19and the title of Dragula,
03:21the world's next drag super monster.
03:25Drag.
03:26Drag.
03:27Drag.
03:28Drag.
03:29Drag.
03:30Drag.
03:31You are...
03:48Oh!
03:49Oh, my God.
03:50It's a fucking finale.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Three!
03:54That's a lie, empty in here.
03:55Holy shit.
03:56I know.
03:57So quiet.
03:58Isn't it fucking crazy how Andy feels?
03:59Last week, it was very emotional.
04:01Indeed.
04:02You know, doing the drops.
04:03You know, we had to send two of our very talented sisters home.
04:06I was a very emotional mess that day.
04:09That's okay.
04:10By the end of that day.
04:11But coming back, I just have to kind of like...
04:14Get your head in the game, gal.
04:15Get into it, gal.
04:16Again, I didn't want to see any of us go home.
04:19It was such tight, tight, tight competition,
04:22and it's sad that Eva and Astrid couldn't make it.
04:27I'm so gagged that Eva dropped.
04:30Like, honestly, Astrid's more understandable just because...
04:33Oh, my God.
04:34I'm sorry!
04:35I don't think Astrid had any fight to say that she wanted to stay in the competition.
04:38Instead, Tor she had fight for.
04:41You know, it would have been much easier for me to say her name in that cauldron
04:46if she fought for herself right up until that last moment.
04:50She had given up.
04:51She kind of...
04:52Yeah.
04:53Lie detector test really was telling.
04:54But, like...
04:55Bye, girl.
04:57Even though Eva had two wins and I only had one,
05:01one, I think what sets me apart from the other competitors that are no longer here
05:05is the fact that I personally love to take risks.
05:10I love risks.
05:11You make your best shit when you're under pressure.
05:13I took big swings, big risks.
05:16Some paid off, some didn't.
05:18But I think that shows just as much drive, just as much effort.
05:23Absolutely.
05:24And I think that stood out and showed.
05:26You know, now that I think about it, Eva and I both stayed
05:29and there was the consequence.
05:31Maybe after all, it was that one of us was gonna leave.
05:35Was gonna leave.
05:36Wow.
05:37So, and then, damn.
05:39It looks to me like them consequences found who they were supposed to.
05:44But there should be more to come.
05:46Honestly, we can sit here and talk about, you know, points and track records all day.
05:50But at the end of the day, we are here as top three because we're bad bitches
05:54in a competition full of bad bitches.
05:56And I think that's all that should matter.
05:58I think so.
05:59With that being said, top three motherfuckers.
06:02Top three.
06:03Are you ready?
06:04Let's fucking...
06:05Let's fucking...
06:06Attention.
06:07Attention.
06:08Attention.
06:09Attention.
06:10Last one, y'all.
06:11Please make your way to the main stage.
06:13You have tovor the evil.
06:25We have to著.
06:28Left my eyes.
06:31For now.
06:32This is it, Titans.
06:48The grand finale.
06:50All right, last one, y'all.
06:53Last one.
06:55While you've all performed incredibly well this season,
06:57only one of you can be crowned the ultimate Dragula Titan.
07:01And it's high time we find out which one of you that is.
07:07Your first step towards the crown will be to prove to us
07:10that you're able to speak publicly
07:11as a true representation of the brand.
07:14So you'll be joining us as a special guest on our podcast,
07:19the Boulay Brothers Creatures of the Night.
07:22Let's fucking go!
07:24Fuck yeah, let's fucking go.
07:26Once you pass the interview, you'll be able to proceed
07:29and we'll move on to the main challenge.
07:32For your main challenge,
07:33you will need to conceptualize, produce, and perform
07:36one colossal floor show that depicts your idea
07:39of what the four tenets of Dragula are.
07:42Drag, filth, horror, and glamour.
07:45And you will do so while lip-syncing
07:46to our new song, Ascension.
07:52Which we wrote and recorded specifically for this very moment.
07:55You may use backup performers, video and lighting elements,
07:58special effects, or whatever you can think of
08:00to create this ultimate show.
08:02And we will allow the full use of the Titan stage
08:05here in the underworld to help you achieve your vision.
08:08Again, this is a new version of our competition
08:10and a new version of the finale,
08:12so you will not be doing three individual floor shows.
08:15Instead, you need to combine everything you've got
08:17into one incredible stage production.
08:21After your floor shows,
08:22we will consider your performance so far on this season,
08:25how you each scored as performers and interviewees
08:28in this finale,
08:29as well as how you performed on your original season.
08:33And only then will we determine
08:35who the first Titan of Dragula will be.
08:39Good luck, Uglies.
08:41And know that no matter what happens in the end,
08:43we are proud of you all.
08:45Please go forward knowing that you have absolutely proven
08:48beyond a doubt
08:49that you are among the strongest competitors
08:51to ever compete on this stage.
08:56Thank you for bringing all that you have to this competition.
08:59And may the best monster win.
09:05Now, from Hollywood, California,
09:28the horror capital of the world,
09:32the Boulay Brothers.
09:33Creatures of the Night.
09:44Good evening, everyone,
09:46and welcome to a special edition
09:47of the Boulay Brothers Creatures of the Night.
09:51Ooh.
09:54As always, we are your ghost hosts
09:57for the evening, the Boulay Brothers.
09:59But we are also joined by our sister in crime
10:01and co-host, supervising producer
10:03of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula,
10:05Ms. Ian DeVogler.
10:07Ian, darling, welcome to the show.
10:09And welcome to the grand finale
10:10of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula, Titans.
10:13Here we are.
10:15It's so wonderful to be here in the mansion
10:18in the phantom realm, no less.
10:20So here we are at the tail end
10:22of what is really something
10:24that we've been working on for a long time.
10:26How do you both feel everything went
10:27with the season in this new format?
10:29I feel very much like this is the culmination
10:32of a Frankenstein's monster sort of season.
10:35And I will say, I've never seen Frankenstein's monster
10:37do so many stunts, pull so many gags.
10:41Mama, we got trap doors, we got double wins,
10:43we got saves, we got it all down here.
10:45Everybody knows that Frankenstein's monster
10:46in the underworld is adjusting wigs left and right daily.
10:50So one of the things I feel at least about this season
10:53is this is almost like the culmination
10:55of the first chapter of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula, right?
10:59Because I feel like it's a celebration
11:00of everything we've done up until this point.
11:03Do you all feel that way?
11:04Oh, I agree fully.
11:05This is sort of like the end of chapter one.
11:07And chapter two is going to be a whole different one.
11:11This thing, they don't want it.
11:14Now we know what they can tolerate
11:16and we can be so much more creative.
11:17I don't even think we need to call them
11:20Fright Beats anymore.
11:21Let's just call it what it is, like torture for fun.
11:23Well, you know, hey.
11:25Torture for fun.
11:26Torture for fun.
11:28For fun and cash and prizes.
11:30That's true.
11:31All right, well, moving on.
11:33The Boulay Brothers' Dragula Titans
11:34was all about bringing back
11:36some of the best of the best competitors
11:37from all four seasons of the show.
11:40After trials, tribulations, and harrowing challenges,
11:43we have narrowed down the competition
11:44to the top three competitors of the season.
11:46And they are joining us now in the flesh.
11:50Please welcome to the show, Coco Cain,
11:53Hosoteratoma, and Victoria Elizabeth Black.
11:56Hello, dum-dums.
11:57Hello.
11:58Hello, huggies.
12:00Hi, mummies.
12:00Welcome, welcome.
12:02Congratulations to making it to the finale.
12:06All right, so we're now at the end
12:07of an incredibly exciting, difficult,
12:09and challenging season for you all.
12:12But we still have some lingering questions
12:13about your experiences here with us,
12:15so we're going to just dive right in
12:17and get to the bottom
12:18of what it's really been like
12:19to compete on this season.
12:21Ooh, sounds like tea.
12:24So now that you're at the end of this competition,
12:27was your experience
12:28like anything you expected it to be?
12:30Oh, unexpected turns left and right.
12:32Indeed.
12:33Yeah.
12:33Honestly.
12:33I didn't know what to expect
12:35as far as, like, exterminations,
12:37as we now know, or fright feats.
12:38Right.
12:39So some of those were a surprise.
12:41Definitely.
12:42And the fact that everyone
12:43has to participate in the beginning.
12:45We have people sneak by sometimes, right?
12:47Oh, yeah.
12:47Yeah.
12:48They're like,
12:48I'm on Titans.
12:49I never have to do shit.
12:51No, ma'am.
12:52On Titans, we're all air cuffs.
12:54Yeah, we have.
12:55Oh, shit.
12:58See, honestly, though,
13:01I can't say I was surprised.
13:03Yeah?
13:03I anticipated the surprises.
13:06The worst, honestly.
13:06What surprised me
13:07were when there weren't surprises.
13:09Yeah.
13:09That's what got me.
13:11So what do you think
13:12the purposes of the fright feats were?
13:13Like, why would we put
13:14those challenges before you?
13:16And do you think it was successful?
13:18I think they were put forth
13:20to really make the person in question
13:23think about what it is that they want.
13:25It makes you prioritize
13:26your goals and dreams.
13:28Is your fear stronger
13:29than your desire to succeed?
13:30Do you want this really that bad?
13:32And are you willing to overcome
13:34whatever is, you know,
13:36in front of you as an obstacle?
13:37No one ever denied doing a challenge,
13:39so I think everyone really wanted it.
13:42Some of your fellow competitors
13:44seem trepidatious to show
13:47who they really were on camera.
13:48And, you know, we film you
13:50for 24 hours a day, essentially,
13:52and there's really no way
13:54to edit yourself or control
13:55what you come off like on camera.
13:57So why do you think people
13:58try to hide who they are?
14:00I feel like it became so normalized,
14:02the fear of, like, you know,
14:03getting torn apart online.
14:04It's like, because it's vicious out there.
14:05It is.
14:06Oh, yeah.
14:06Right.
14:06Absolutely.
14:07Even I got to, like,
14:08experience some of that
14:09nasty side of the internet
14:10and was, like, it was really jarring.
14:12It's really, like, it gets to you.
14:14People almost feel the need.
14:15Let's be really mean to them
14:16because they're no longer human.
14:18These are just figures.
14:19Characters.
14:19Sure.
14:20You are human.
14:21And you have to say things
14:22that are in your mind
14:23and let people know,
14:25like, your opinions
14:26without having to feel like
14:27you're walking on eggshells
14:28every moment.
14:29Well, vulnerability aside,
14:30I just want to personally say
14:32that I am so thrilled
14:33that we finally have a top three
14:35that consists of all villains.
14:36Oh, yeah.
14:37You're going to be excited.
14:38All villains.
14:40Finally a table of supervillains.
14:42Oh, yeah.
14:43That was the goal.
14:44We wanted to weed out
14:45all the nicey cuties.
14:48So, Hoso,
14:49you came here from South Korea.
14:51You competed on
14:51the Blade Brothers Dragula Season 4.
14:53Yes.
14:54Then you went on tour with us
14:56around the world.
14:57Right.
14:57And now you're back
14:58to compete on
14:59the Blade Brothers Dragula Titans
15:00and we just want to know
15:01if you are thinking about
15:03maybe moving
15:04to the United States full-time
15:06so we can stop buying
15:07these fucking plane tickets.
15:08Right.
15:09Damn.
15:09All right.
15:10It's an interview
15:10because they're expensive.
15:12It's definitely been an option
15:14and it's been on my mind
15:15for a long time,
15:16but I value my impact
15:19in South Korea a lot.
15:21There's currently nobody
15:22who is doing
15:23what I'm doing back home.
15:24Me bringing this influence
15:26back home
15:27meant a lot
15:28to a lot of people
15:30I just felt like
15:31that was so important.
15:33I love to hear that.
15:34Your impact is reaching
15:35that far and that deeply
15:36into Korean queer culture
15:38and just your visibility
15:39changing the way
15:41people might think
15:41and see not just drag
15:43but like queer art.
15:45I love to hear that.
15:46If I want to come work here,
15:47you know,
15:48the flight is paid.
15:49Yes.
15:50But it is very nice
15:52to have a home
15:53that I can go back to
15:54where I am a part
15:55of the community leader circle
15:56and I am impactful.
15:58So I want to ask you
15:59a kind of a sensitive question
16:00because it happened
16:01on the show, obviously.
16:01So you had this
16:02sort of love triangle thing
16:04with Abora and Astrid
16:05and you do have
16:06a long-term partner.
16:08So what do you say
16:09to people who might think
16:10it could be insensitive
16:12of you to sort of
16:13have that experience
16:14with them
16:15because they don't have
16:16someone else necessarily?
16:17Do you think that
16:18people might think
16:19you're toying with them
16:20or something?
16:21My partner and I
16:22have been together
16:23for almost like
16:23four and a half years now
16:24and we love each other
16:26very much.
16:26But the sexual romantic
16:28relationships or interactions
16:30we have with other people
16:31doesn't have to affect that.
16:33That's our thing.
16:34Right.
16:34But people can listen to it
16:36and then logically understand it
16:38and rationalize it
16:39in their brain
16:39but their emotions
16:40don't necessarily,
16:42you know, match with it.
16:43I think that's the problems
16:44I've had with people
16:45that I interact with.
16:47When you start to see
16:48that they are falling
16:48for you hard,
16:49do you ever feel like
16:50it becomes a responsibility
16:51of yours to be like
16:52maybe I should cut this off
16:54or is it like
16:54fuck it, whatever?
16:55I mean, what do you think?
16:56My first priority
16:57is that everything
16:58is transparent
16:58and I really don't want
17:00feelings getting hurt.
17:01This isn't a heteronormative
17:02relationship, right?
17:03It's kind of interesting
17:04to see,
17:05you don't have to be like
17:06well, here's my person
17:07and we're married
17:07and we have a picket fence
17:08and here's our kids
17:09and, you know,
17:10it's showing
17:12a little bit of reality
17:13of queer life
17:14as uncomfortable
17:15as it might be
17:15for you all to do it
17:16on TV.
17:17Monogamy is really old-fashioned
17:19so...
17:19Tell us about it, Victoria.
17:22I do think it's important
17:23for people to see
17:24different type of relationships.
17:27It brings my mind
17:27to other potential
17:28complex relationships
17:29like the relationship
17:30you may have
17:30with your parents.
17:31Like, what do your parents
17:32think of you being
17:33a drag artist?
17:34My mom
17:34is a university professor
17:36that teaches, like,
17:38feminism and gender theory
17:39in, like,
17:40in prestigious
17:41Korean schools.
17:42Like, she is a bad bitch
17:43and when your child
17:45is 15 years old
17:46with a fake ID
17:46going to clubs
17:47and performing
17:47at the transvestite,
17:48it's not that,
17:49you know,
17:50the worry is,
17:51comes naturally, right?
17:52What do you mean?
17:54The worry comes naturally,
17:56but she is, honestly,
17:59the best mom
17:59I can ask for.
18:00Well, on my season,
18:02she was Team Saint,
18:03so fuck that bitch.
18:03What?
18:06I was going to say,
18:07let's bring out
18:07Mrs. Teratoma, please.
18:09Damn, I'm about to get
18:10my ass beat on television.
18:13So let's move on
18:14and talk to Victoria.
18:15All right, so, Victoria.
18:17Yes.
18:17You have had
18:18a lot of drag daughters
18:19at this point.
18:20How many drag daughters
18:22have you had total?
18:23It hasn't been that many.
18:25You had, like,
18:25a whole family tree.
18:28Okay.
18:29I mean, technically,
18:31only three.
18:32The rest were their kids.
18:34So you had drag grandkids.
18:36At least get your tubes tied.
18:38Oh, my God.
18:39Does that make Victoria
18:41the granny hag from hell?
18:43Oh, my God.
18:45I do love that.
18:46I mean,
18:46she wears it with pride.
18:48It's fine.
18:49Icky, Icky.
18:49I want to ask you
18:51if, looking back,
18:52do you wish you had
18:53had any drag abortions?
18:56Oh.
18:57Full-heartedly.
19:00Wow.
19:01Just as we suspected.
19:02I told you on season two
19:04to not have any drag daughters.
19:06I didn't listen.
19:07Because they just
19:08take from you.
19:09They suck the life from you.
19:10Take and take and take.
19:11Let's move on
19:12to a serious question.
19:13Oh.
19:15Sorry.
19:16Ian,
19:17don't ruin this for us.
19:18Oh.
19:18All right.
19:19Okay, Victoria,
19:20very important question.
19:22If you could slap
19:23any member
19:24of the Belay Brothers,
19:25Dragula Titans cast,
19:26who would it be
19:27and why?
19:29Open palm
19:29or back of the hand,
19:30or back of the hand, too?
19:30Always open palm.
19:32Oh, my God.
19:33Oh, my God.
19:35If I had to choose one,
19:38well,
19:39honestly, probably Astrid,
19:40because I'm like,
19:41you're being a brat.
19:42Shut the fuck up
19:43and fucking roll with the punches.
19:45Okay.
19:46Yeah, well, you know what?
19:46That's great.
19:47Will you get us free passes
19:48to Universal Horror Nights?
19:50Oh, I'd make it happen.
19:51I'd pay for it
19:52out of my own pocket.
19:53We're good, we're good.
19:54This feels like bribing.
19:56We like a bribe.
19:57What else would you like, Mommy?
19:59Well, speaking of...
20:00Yes, while we're on the subject.
20:02We did order
20:02two breastplates
20:04from you after season two
20:05and you charged us full bribes.
20:08Don't you think
20:09that we did enough
20:10for your career
20:11that we could get
20:12at least a discount?
20:13I thought I did discount them.
20:15Oh, you're caravan.
20:17She's expensive.
20:18She's expensive to be me.
20:20North cities are expensive.
20:21This is the hard and hoony question.
20:23Were you trying to get revenge
20:25on us because bitch won?
20:27No!
20:27What?
20:29My God.
20:29Why would you say that?
20:32I just asked the question, okay?
20:35While we are on the subject
20:36of season two,
20:37is it true
20:38that you got James' Majesty
20:39so high out of their mind
20:40that they messed up
20:41their finale floor show?
20:42I smell sabotage.
20:47She knows what I'm talking about.
20:48Do you believe me now?
20:50Do you see it?
20:50Do you see it?
20:51With these bitches
20:52with high tolerances,
20:53you got to get those bitches
20:54that one hit
20:55and they're done.
20:55Get them out.
20:57So, okay.
20:59If you could,
21:00yes, let's bring it down.
21:02You all are really,
21:03really silly today.
21:04You need to get yourself
21:04under control.
21:05It's called fun, Drac.
21:06You should try it sometime.
21:09Was there anything
21:10during the season
21:10that you thought,
21:11like, maybe,
21:12I don't want to do this.
21:13Like, this is too crazy
21:14or this is too intense
21:15or anything like that,
21:16whether it be
21:17an extermination
21:18or just the experience
21:19that you all went through.
21:20Because sometimes,
21:21you know,
21:21Hoso looked like
21:22she wanted to bail,
21:23so I don't know
21:23if you felt that way too.
21:25Honestly,
21:25that first little bit
21:27with the apples
21:28and I saw the fucking
21:30pig head in Erica's bucket,
21:32I was like,
21:33oh, bitch.
21:33I've never snouted
21:36a pig before.
21:38I heard stories
21:40to actually contradict
21:41what you're saying, right?
21:42In a different sense
21:43of the word.
21:44Oh, okay.
21:45Okay.
21:46I might be a kinky bitch,
21:48okay?
21:48Might be,
21:49but I was ready
21:50and I was very terrified.
21:52I was like,
21:53they're going to make us
21:53fucking cross,
21:54like,
21:55two giant-ass buildings
21:57over a fucking
21:59pond of piranhas.
22:00Wait, is that a fear?
22:01Season five.
22:01I was going to say,
22:02is that a fear of yours?
22:03I wouldn't say a fear,
22:03but it's a terror.
22:05Don't kill yourself,
22:06but if it is,
22:07make sure it's on camera.
22:08Literally.
22:08You really have been
22:09paying attention, Hosev.
22:12Okay, Coco,
22:13you've competed in pageants
22:15previously before,
22:16both male-presenting
22:17and female-presenting pageants,
22:18right?
22:19I have.
22:19Do you think that
22:19that experience kind of
22:21led to almost like
22:22strengthening of,
22:23I don't know,
22:23your core or your drag
22:24before you got here?
22:25The realm in which
22:26I competed in pageantry,
22:27I had to learn how to
22:28lose before I won.
22:30And when I did reign,
22:32immediately,
22:32I was told,
22:34here's your prize package,
22:35here's your crown,
22:36your reign is what you make of it.
22:37All the things I expected
22:38when I won
22:39were non-existent.
22:41I expected someone
22:42to show me
22:43how to do all the things
22:44I wanted to do
22:45as I was competing.
22:46However,
22:47when you get to the top
22:48and you're slapped with,
22:49your reign is what you make of it,
22:50it really puts everything
22:51into perspective.
22:52I don't have to have
22:54this title
22:55to do what I need to do.
22:57If my reign is what I make it,
22:58why can't I reign all the time?
22:59So when I came to this competition,
23:01I came into it
23:02with the idea of
23:03regardless of how it pans out,
23:04I know my goal.
23:05I know the end game
23:06and I know what it takes
23:07to get there.
23:08And it doesn't take a crown
23:09or a sash
23:10or $100,000 to do so.
23:11It'll make it easier
23:12and come to you.
23:13But I know
23:15what I need to do
23:15and how to do it.
23:16I feel like you have
23:17a really interesting,
23:18rich history.
23:20And I feel like
23:20there's no one on the show
23:22that has sort of
23:23endeared themselves
23:24in a way that made you feel
23:26you could trust them
23:27to open up to them.
23:28Do you feel like that's true?
23:29I do, unfortunately.
23:31And it's not because
23:32I deem a lot of people
23:33untrustworthy.
23:34However,
23:35nine times out of ten,
23:36I don't share my stories
23:37just to share them.
23:38I share my experiences
23:40and the things
23:41I went through in life
23:41because I feel as though
23:43the people around me
23:44can benefit from them.
23:46And it's honestly hard
23:47to believe all the
23:48outlandish, dumb shit
23:50I have done
23:51in the past 27 years.
23:52So half the time
23:53when I recap these stories,
23:55they're like,
23:55did this bitch just fall asleep
23:56watching Hallmark
23:57or something?
23:58And recap this shit
23:59and thought it was real
24:00or what?
24:01Do you feel like
24:02because you sort of
24:03had to hide who you were
24:05and you were exploring
24:06your queerness,
24:07you felt like you got yourself
24:09into some scary situations,
24:10I guess?
24:10I was learning everything
24:12as I go.
24:13So when it came
24:13to experiencing things
24:14like social dating apps,
24:17hookup apps
24:19and just the gay culture
24:20in general,
24:21I learned very quickly
24:23that whenever you are,
24:24when you have a parental
24:25structure that is unaware
24:25of those things,
24:26it can render the youth
24:27or the person in question
24:28very vulnerable
24:29to some of the dangers
24:30of the community.
24:31Right.
24:31And something as simple
24:32as just knowledge
24:33moving forward
24:34and making that decision
24:35can change the outcome.
24:37Now, I'm not saying
24:38anybody could have said,
24:39hey, girl,
24:39don't go hook up
24:40with that 59-year-old
24:41at fucking 2 a.m.
24:42on a street
24:43you've never been to
24:44in a car
24:44that has no license plate.
24:45Yeah.
24:46But if someone
24:47would have provided
24:48that information,
24:49I could have thought,
24:50well, now that you
24:51put it that way,
24:52that might not be
24:53the best idea.
24:54But that don't mean
24:55I ain't gonna do it.
24:55As I said,
24:56still gonna do it,
24:57but...
24:57Okay, switching gears
24:58fully and very deftly,
25:00you admitted
25:00during the lie detector test
25:02that you were,
25:03in fact,
25:03attracted to some
25:04of the cast members
25:05on the show.
25:06Would you like
25:07to share with us
25:08a little bit more
25:08about that answer?
25:10I can tell you
25:10for a fact,
25:11when it came down
25:11to evil,
25:12I was like,
25:12baby.
25:15So one of the tenets
25:17of Dragula
25:17is Phil.
25:18And I know you perform
25:19with Dolly and Astrid
25:21regularly,
25:22so you have
25:22that part covered.
25:23But another tenet
25:24is horror.
25:25And I was wondering
25:26if you can give us
25:27your best witch cackle
25:28to prove that you
25:29have what it takes
25:30to exemplify
25:31the horror of Dracula.
25:33He's got this.
25:34Oh, bitch.
25:35This is your second chance.
25:39Quiet on the set.
25:44Okay, Coco.
25:46I'm gonna say a few names,
25:47and I want you to answer
25:48truthfully and honestly.
25:49Friend Zone
25:50or Fuck Zone?
25:51Absolutely.
25:52Frankie Doom.
25:53Friend Zone.
25:55Loris.
25:56Friend Zone.
25:57Victoria Elizabeth Black.
25:58Fuck both.
26:00Ooh, okay.
26:00I mean,
26:01we already did it.
26:03On national television.
26:06All right, darling,
26:07so that's all the time
26:08we have tonight.
26:09You all have a lot
26:10of work to do still,
26:11and the grand finale
26:12floor show
26:13is almost upon us.
26:15We want to thank you
26:16for joining us here,
26:17and we wish you
26:18all the blessings
26:18of drag,
26:19filth,
26:20horror,
26:20and glamour
26:21in your final shows.
26:23Good luck to all of you,
26:24and when you see us next,
26:25it will be to crown
26:26one of you
26:27the ultimate titan
26:28of the Blay Brothers,
26:29Dragula.
26:30Good night, everyone.
26:31Woo!
26:32No!
26:48I think that went really well.
26:50I was a little nervous in the beginning, but I feel good now.
26:53I've done this before. It was a little different,
26:55but I felt more prepared going in, I think.
26:58Yeah, no, some of those questions made me a little nervous,
27:00and I was like, I think they want you to feel nervous in this moment,
27:03just to see how you'd respond.
27:05You know, because we don't have a Fright Feet this week,
27:07so maybe, who knows?
27:09Bitch, that might have been the Fright Feet.
27:10Yes.
27:12And speaking of, we have a lot of shit to work on, bitches.
27:15That's fucking right.
27:16Finale is coming one day at a time, and we got to get our shit done.
27:20That's still love to y'all, but I have to go work on shit.
27:22Same. That part.
27:23Bye. Let's do this.
27:50For my grand finale floor show, I pulled inspiration from a very fucking terrifying
28:00creature to me personally, and that is the Black Widow Spider.
28:04I chose the Black Widow Spider because it's very strong.
28:08It's very terrifying, but also very beautiful.
28:10I'm using insulation tubing as well as 12-gauge wire, cellophane, spray paint, flex seal.
28:18I'm using super glue, anything I can get my little paws on to bring this illusion to life.
28:23I chose to go full Monty with this one, and I'm building a hopefully anatomically correct
28:30spider body to accent my already flawless silhouette.
28:34I feel like this is different from a regular finale because it's easy to break down, I feel like,
28:38the tenets of Dragula when you have three separate chances to do so.
28:42When you combine all those elements of Dragula into one, I feel like that can be a little bit more
28:46complicated because some of us in this competition excel at specific tenets.
28:51This isn't the time for that.
29:07So for my grand finale floor show, I am building this giant cocoon of an outer garment that is
29:14covered in liquid latex and all bunch of roast stuff to make this insectoid of a cocoon that
29:20I'm going to burst throughout and be my final form as the insect queen. And my claws are made out of
29:28expansion foam, fabric, liquid latex, and EVA foam. I kind of built all of that and concocted it onto
29:35a crutch that I'm going to be leaning myself into. I am confident in the concept that I created,
29:40and I think this is going to really signify everything that they need to know about me
29:44as an artist and why I should win.
29:50So for my grand finale floor show, I'm trying to give the gist of keeping your childhood roots
30:11close to you and using that to your greatest advantage later in life. So I'm trying to start
30:17as a little kid version of me looking back at my life through home videos and they are now seeing
30:24almost like the future of me. She's not happy with herself. She's trying to create the perfect Victoria.
30:31She has almost an epiphany moment where she realizes it's the heart of the child that is what's going to
30:37give Victoria her oomph. So for my set, I'm working on building an electrocution table. Very morbid,
30:43just like putting together the perfect body with these random body parts that I have acquired.
30:49Piecing them together like a puzzle on this table that I'm going to eventually electrocute. I'm just
30:55using a mixture of raw umber paints just to give it that grungy look. I've never done anything to this
31:01scale, but I'm feeling very good about everything that we have so far. Honestly, this Titan's journey has
31:10been a roller coaster. Only the best of the best are able to roll with the unexpected things that
31:15life presents us. And I feel like that's really what sets winners apart from the rest. Your reign
31:20and your time on Dragula is what you make of it. I know what I'm capable of. My goal was to get
31:26everyone else on the same page. They knew when I walked in the door what I do. At no point was it
31:32a question what I'm here for and what I'm leaving with. Throughout this competition, I have been focused.
31:37I came here to do drag. I came here to represent my drag, myself, and the things I stand for. And
31:41I've done that unapologetically every step of the way. All the hard work will pay off and I will take
31:46that crown home. The crown is mine. This journey on Titans has been one of the best experiences I've
31:54ever had on Dragula. This is the time you get to push those limits. Thinking so large that you have to
32:00scale back slightly. Being on season two really was finding myself and just like the kind of character
32:06I wanted to be. That whole experience was basically a boot camp for Victoria to figure
32:12herself out. Now it's blown up into this and the possibility of getting that crown is insane.
32:19I've really showed how diverse I could be and I'm super professional to work with. I don't want to
32:25get a big head over this. I just want to be an inspiration for others and showcase my art for
32:29their enjoyment. I want to fucking win this. Like this is the most passionate I've been about anything in my
32:35life. I've put in so much work and so much love and just I've put in everything I've got into this
32:43and I feel like I've shown that I could be your queen. Nothing would make me more proud than to
32:49be Dragula's next super monster.
32:55So my character is going to be a metamorphosizing insect queen. I think it signifies a lot of my
33:01experience. Where do I start getting diagnosed with cancer and facing death this close and persevering
33:09through it just because I wanted to survive and leave mark on this earth as an artist. Dragula
33:15honestly I can confidently say saved my life and I did not let not winning season four stop me. I've
33:22learned so much. I've transformed so much as an artist. I know exactly who I am. I've come so far in
33:28so many different things. My transition journey as a trans femme person and my drag aesthetic. I
33:35should win because I'm part of the Dragula success story and I represent that in a way that hasn't
33:40been showcased before. I create drag like no one else does. I know I said it in my season that it's
33:45now or never for me but I feel that now more than ever. I feel like this is really the chance that was
33:51given like a miracle right after my season. Returning with all this experience all this transformation
33:56and being showcased on this platform and gaining this far feels like a prophecy. It feels like
34:01destiny to me and this is my moment.
34:21So
34:31so
34:33so
35:37Welcome back to the underworld, uglies, and to the main stage of the grand finale of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula Titans.
36:00As you already know, this season we've brought back ten of our strongest competitors from previous iterations of the competition
36:07and pitted them against one another in an ultimate-style grand championship of drag, filth, horror, and glamour.
36:16All season we've witnessed a battle of titanic proportions unfold on this very stage.
36:21And over the course of the last few weeks, we've narrowed down the competition to our final three top performers of the season.
36:28Hoso Teratoma, Victoria Elizabeth Black, and Coco Kane.
36:34For their final challenge, we've asked our three finalists to conceptualize, choreograph, and perform a grand finale-style drag performance to our new song, Ascension.
36:45A song we wrote and recorded just for this very occasion.
36:49The winner of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula Titans will be crowned the ultimate titan of drag, will win a $100,000 grand prize, courtesy of us, and will headline the upcoming Boulay Brothers' Dragula World Tour.
37:06I see the spirits have become restless, and the time is near.
37:11So without further ado, let's dim the lights, start the music, and let the final floor show begin.
37:18I've been dead so long, I've been dead so long, in a white thing, a white wedding, yeah.
37:48Oh!
38:06Oh!
38:07Oh!
38:09What?
38:10Oh!
38:15Oh!
38:18Oh!
38:18Oh, my God.
38:48Oh, my God.
39:18Oh, my God.
39:48Oh, my God.
40:18Oh, my God.
40:48Oh, my God.
40:50A pound of flesh, the penalty.
40:54Step on the neck of the enemy.
40:58And force the fate, embrace the power, spill their blood, till the final hour.
41:08In the dark, hatred burns, and from the dead, the dead return.
41:17Ascension terror reigns this curse to begin again.
41:27Castles fall, bathed in red.
41:31Exorcist from the land of the dead.
41:38Ascension.
41:41Ascension.
41:42Ascension.
41:43Ascension.
41:44Ascension.
41:46Ascension.
41:48Ascension.
41:50Ascension.
41:51Ascension.
41:52Ascension.
41:53Ascension.
41:54Dying once to live twice
42:01Plague our foes like a poltergeist
42:06And from the fire we breathe a fixation
42:11Of annihilation
42:14Ascension, terror rain
42:19Cleanse this curse to begin again
42:24Castles fall, bathed in red
42:29Exorcists from the land of the dead
42:36Ascension
42:46Ascension
42:49Ascension
42:54Ascension
42:56Ascension
42:58Ascension
42:59Ascension
43:00Ascension
43:01Ascension
43:02Ascension
43:04Ascension
43:05Ascension
43:07Ascension
43:09Ascension
43:10Ascension
43:11Can you believe that all those years ago
43:14When you put on that wig and that roach came crawling out of it across your face
43:18That it would eventually lead to this
43:21Oh, what a memory
43:23Thank you for forcing me to revisit it
43:25It's the beginning of drag
43:27Everyone has their drag origin story
43:29And mine crawled right across my face
43:32And so here we are for the last time
43:36Yes
43:37Our last deliberation in the underworld before we pluck one of these monsters from oblivion and bring them back with us to reign supreme
43:44I'm going to miss this place as hot as it was and as hellish as it continues to be
43:50Steamy and smelly and foggy
43:52And then there's all the bad stuff about it too
43:54Never mind, I think I'll be fine to leave
43:56I think we should leave the same way that everyone else left this season, what do you think?
44:02Fast and rude
44:12So tonight our three finalists performed their final floor show to our song Ascension
44:17How do you think they did?
44:18I thought these three final floor shows were triumphant
44:22I mean these were three monstrous visions brought to life just the way we wanted
44:27So what did you think of Victoria's performance?
44:30Victoria basically is the mad scientist of drag
44:33She is a creator, she is a crafter, she is a builder
44:37And we saw all of those strengths displayed on the stage tonight
44:40She built those props in 48 hours, really impressive
44:44I think creativity, the show is a 10
44:46I think craftsmanship, the show is a 10
44:49Creativity, 10
44:51You said that twice
44:52The creativity
44:54Wait let me guess, 10
44:5510
44:5610
44:57I think Victoria's show was the most well thought out show
45:00I agree
45:01She reached all the way back to when she was a child
45:03Tied it into her time on season 2
45:05And then tied it into her coming back here
45:08I thought she did a great job
45:09I'm like you've been wearing ladies shoes since you were like a toddler
45:12And a witch hat
45:13I love it, I do love it so much
45:15The message of taking your inner child's heart
45:18And bringing that heart into your creations as an adult is so powerful
45:23Victoria really became her own monster
45:26I agree
45:27What did you think of Hoso's floor show?
45:29I thought that she nailed the lip sync the best
45:32You live for a Hoso lip sync, don't you?
45:34You know what?
45:35I love when Hoso pops and locks all over the stage
45:38It's my favorite thing
45:39Yeah
45:40I love the idea that we had this sculptural, slimy, scary, kind of like outer car pace
45:48And then that's like ripped apart to show this streamlined, crystalline, scary, final form
45:54It was the total culmination of her weird insectoid-looking cryptid self
46:00Monstrous, yeah
46:01She did that massive reveal which was interesting
46:04I think she had a lot of choreography that she did really well with
46:07The battle moves, I did like that too
46:10Every time I look at Hoso's look on stage, I have to blink a few times and really take it in
46:15And this was absolutely no exception
46:17The extension of the arms, all the armor pieces, multiple eyes
46:21Like someone who really leans into the monster that we're looking for
46:24Yeah
46:25As far as a finale show, I think it's a great show
46:29It's great
46:30Hoso, they're great
46:32Let's talk about Coco
46:34I loved Coco's look
46:36Yeah
46:37I loved Coco's performance too
46:38I thought of everyone tonight, Coco's face was the deadliest
46:42It was
46:43What an original idea too
46:45The look was really incredible
46:47It was fun, it was raw and DIY like they do
46:50And the hair was amazing
46:52The hair was amazing
46:53This look gave us what we have grown to expect from Coco
46:57It was hair, it was body, it was sex, and it was proportions
47:01Coco came tonight to represent and declare their title as the Black Widow of Dragula
47:06It's true, and I love it
47:07I think the show was flawless
47:09I think the duck walk that made the spider legs kind of move
47:14Yeah
47:15It was so fun
47:16You like that little jiggle jiggle jangle?
47:17Yes, and I especially like the way that she jiggled the backup dancer's ass
47:21I thought that was really nice too
47:22On that pound of flesh
47:23Yes
47:24It really looked like a couple of pounds of flesh, didn't it?
47:26Yeah, she did a great job with the lip sync
47:28I think her interpretation of the song was powerful
47:31I was very happy with what they did
47:33The way that Coco was just eating up those boys on stage was exactly the way she ate up the competition all season long
47:39So let's talk about their performance overall this season
47:43Including how they did on their own seasons
47:46Let's start with Coco
47:47Because I think Coco is a great example of someone who came on a season of the show
47:52And maybe the challenges didn't go their way and they go home early
47:56But that doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad artist
47:59No
48:00Or they're a weak competitor
48:02Because look at everything that Coco has shown us this season
48:05Absolutely
48:06Incredible
48:07Risk taking, sexy, gender bending
48:09Like just a very cool, exciting drag artist
48:12I feel like Coco has the spirit of Dragula in them
48:16Coco is one of the most unique competitors that we've ever had on the show
48:20I think it's because of those gigantic tits
48:22I do too
48:23I've never seen breasts that big on this show
48:26Not just on this show
48:27Literally on any drag show anywhere
48:29I've never seen
48:30Actually, yes
48:31Coco has the biggest tits on planet Earth
48:35Let's move on to Victoria
48:36So Victoria to me is almost the ultimate titan in some ways, right?
48:41She has the creativity, she has the drive, she has the experience
48:46She's certainly the most seasoned of our three finalists, I would say
48:50And that's not just a nice way of calling her old
48:53When I look back, I see Victoria made it to the top three on season two
48:59Arguably, she had a lot of fans that thought she deserved the win
49:03Then we saw Victoria return for resurrection
49:05And I don't think she had the spirit of what we were looking for at the time
49:09But now here we are in the underworld
49:11And the question is, is Victoria Elizabeth Black poised to take the titan's crown?
49:17The performance I saw tonight, the performance I saw this season
49:20I think Victoria would be a stellar example of the ultimate winner of Dragula
49:26So let's move on to Hoso
49:28How do you feel Hoso did this season?
49:30Hoso's journey is a very powerful and fun one to watch
49:34They came in with a fire and a fervor that was unmatched
49:37And now we've toured and we've seen so much drag
49:40And it all happened very quickly
49:41It has been a wild two years for Hoso
49:44Hoso came on season four, made it all the way to the end
49:48Immediately goes on tour with us all over the world
49:52Comes back and has to jump right into another season of competing
49:56Like, that is hard
49:58You know how I know that?
50:00Because I did it too
50:02I did it too
50:03I was right there
50:04I know
50:05No matter what we throw at her, she always rises above
50:08And I respect that
50:09The thing about Hoso, no one looks like Hoso
50:12Hoso is a singular artist
50:14Hoso is a visionary defined by her own imagination
50:17And where some people draw inspiration from glamour and beauty
50:21Hoso draws inspiration from insects and almost deformity
50:25And mutations
50:27And aliens
50:28Literally, yeah
50:29Yeah
50:30It's really an exciting vision of drag
50:32If Hoso won the competition, she would stand out amongst the crowd
50:36Absolutely
50:37And she's so young
50:38I mean, there's so much more that she can do
50:40Like, who knows what she would do as a winner of the show
50:42When you look at the costuming, the poise, the level of hosting skill
50:49It's clear that I should win this competition
50:53It's not that there's any particular reason that the others shouldn't win
50:58It's just that there's more of a reason that one of them should win
51:02I think this season was a really interesting experiment
51:05Perhaps one that I never want to do again
51:08As torturous and hellish as it was
51:12I think we will be back here in the underworld
51:16Here's my feelings, and I think you agree with me
51:18I look at the season of Titans as a celebration of everything we've done before this
51:24And a closing of the Blade Brothers' Dragula Chapter One
51:29This is the end of an era
51:31There's so much more Dragula to come
51:33But I think it's time to change things up a little bit
51:36I love that
51:37Yeah
51:38You know, we said this last season, but I want to reiterate that
51:41We're not looking for someone to take up our mantle
51:44What we are looking to do is to give an opportunity to another drag artist
51:48Who's fresh and who has their own unique flavor
51:50And who has something new to offer
51:52In their own lane, in their own way
51:54Yeah, I don't want them to do what we're doing
51:55I want them to do what they like
51:57Succeed in the things that you're interested in
52:00Like, don't do what someone else is already doing
52:02Absolutely
52:03You know, there is one last thing I want to say to you
52:06Here at the end of Chapter One of the Blade Brothers' Dragula
52:10And it's thank you for being here with me
52:12Oh, I love you for that
52:14It's very exciting when you look at what we've made from nothing
52:19You know, being here on this Titan season with generations of people that have competed on the show
52:24And all the craziness that had been birthed out of this experience
52:29I am proud of what we've done
52:31And I couldn't have done it with anybody but you
52:33Here's to the future
52:35I think we've made our decision
52:37And now it's time to crown Titan
52:54I'm giving Felt
52:56I'm giving Dracula
52:57I'm giving Felt
52:58I'm giving Dracula
52:59I'm giving Felt
53:01I'm giving Dracula
53:03I'm giving me TalaTapidala Toilabau
