The Boulet Brothers' Celeb-Packed Halfway To Halloween Trailer Is Here
The queens of Halloween have arrived.
Why celebrate Halloween once a year when double dipping is twice as — well, not nice, but you know what we mean.
Fortunately, The Boulet Brothers and Shudder realized there’s no reason to wait until October to get into a spookily festive mood. As part of their “Halfway to Halloween” event this month, the Dragula icons are dropping their first Halloween TV special and we have the teaser trailer.
“As spring arrives and people start planning for fun times in the sun, we feel it’s our duty to bring a storm cloud filled with witches, goblins, and jack-o-lanterns and put it right over their beach day, and that’s exactly what we’re doing with our Halfway to Halloween TV Special,” said The Boulet Brothers in a press release. “For those of you who love darkness, blood, thrills, and chills all year round, this special is a love letter to you, and is a reminder that Halloween and horror is in style all year round. So many stars from the world of horror came together to put this variety show together, and we can’t wait for everyone to sink their fangs into it!”
The special is an homage to the era of classic retro holiday variety shows, and will feature scripted skits, musical performances, and a whole lot of spooky camp. Also joining in the mid-year celebration is a truly impressive list of guest stars including David Dastmalchian (Dune, Suicide Squad) who co-produced the special, Kevin Smith (Clerks, Tusk), Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), Taran Killam (SNL), Matthew Lillard (Scream film series), Jorge Garcia (Lost), Steve Agee (Peacemaker), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Chopping Mall), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Katya (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Derek Mears (Friday the 13th, Swamp Thing), Satanic doo-wop band Twin Temple, and Kendra Onixx, Koco Caine & Melissa Befierce (The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula).
Now that is how you celebrate gay Christmas, er, we mean halfway to Halloween!
