PRIDE in the Streets 🏳️🌈
Forget meeting your heroes—I wanna meet my MONSTERS! And I did! I had the pleasure of attending The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Season 666 tour in San Francisco, where current reigning monster Asia Consent performed along with Grey Matter, Anti Heroine, Majesty, and, of course, The Boulets themselves. Before the show, I mixed and mingled with the monsters, and it was every bit as amazing as you would imagine!

Here's what we're watching, listening, and vibing to this weekend!
🎥 In theaters: The Strangers – Chapter 2
Spooky season is starting early with the second chapter in The Strangers franchise arriving in theaters today. Maya (Madelaine Petsch) may have survived the masked strangers’ first attack, but her nightmare is far from over as they return to finish the job.
📺 Stream & Chill: Wayward
Wayward, the new series from Mae Martin, is about to become your next queer obsession. Martin plays Alex, a cop who, along with his pregnant wife, moves to the idyllic small town of Tall Pines, home to an academy that specializes in “reeducating” troubled teens. Soon, Alex is pulled into an investigation that unravels the dark heart of this seemingly utopian town. Cults, queerness, mystery, and Toni Collette? Of course we loved it! Wayward drops on Netflix today.
🎧 In our ears: Tickled to Death Podcast
Trans comic Roz Hernandez’s new pod is so fun, it’s scary! Just in time for the Halloween season, the Ghosted! host dropped a new podcast, Tickled to Death—a horror-themed trivia show that “features celebrity guests battling in a format combining comedy, acting, and horror lore.” The first three episodes are out now, with new episodes released weekly.
