“The Boulet Brothers and our previous Dragula series have attracted a wonderfully passionate, engaged, and diverse fanbase and we’re delighted to bring them even more of the content they crave with this next competition series, especially during our biggest, most celebrated month of the year,” said Craig Engler, GM of Shudder.
