Get ready for some drag, filth, glamour, and horror this Halfway to Halloween season: “The Boulet Brothers’ Halfway to Halloween TV Special” debuts on Shudder next week, and the exclusive new trailer promises a delightfully ghoulish good time with many familiar faces.
“The Boulet Brothers’ Halfway to Halloween TV Special” will premiere on Shudder and AMC+ on Tuesday, April 25, 2023.
If the trailer is any indication, it’s a Halfway to Halloween event you won’t want to miss.
Calling to mind the era of classic retro holiday variety shows, the program will be hosted by The Boulet Brothers (Dracmorda & Swanthula). It will feature scripted skits, musical performances, and guest appearances from an impressive lineup of stars.
That includes David Dastmalchian (Dune, Suicide Squad, Late Night with the Devil), who co-produced the special, Kevin Smith (Clerks, Tusk), Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”), Taran Killam (“SNL”), Matthew Lillard (Scream, Five Nights at Freddy’s), 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”). And that’s not all!
The Boulet Brothers aim to make this the best Halloween special ever and tell us:
“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.
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 & 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 Boulet Brothers’ Halfway to Halloween TV Special” is produced by The Boulet Brothers, through their production company Boulet Brothers’ Productions, in association with David Dastmalchian’s newly formed production company Good Fiend Films. The special follows a monumental success for The Boulet Brothers on the Shudder streaming platform via “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans”, a best-of-the-best spin-off to their wildly popular competition series, “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula”, which was a huge hit for Shudder.
