Dragcula is a black-and-white monster movie come to life
Briefly

Dragcula, a vampire-themed drag parody, is gaining attention at Oasis, challenging seasonal norms. Despite being in January, it engages San Francisco's eclectic crowd through a nostalgic yet fresh approach to Bram Stoker's classic tale. With its black-and-white aesthetic emulating a 1931 film, the production cleverly incorporates elements of BDSM and kink, reflecting contemporary culture. The plot centers on a British lawyer who unwittingly resurrects Dracula, leading to sexual chaos in 1930s London. Combining humor, lip-sync performances, and modern themes, Dragcula redefines what a drag show can be beyond traditional seasons.
The show’s slogan is 'a parody in living grayscale,' and they aren't exaggerating. Tuesday Gloom's black-and-white costume design is impeccably done.
The plot involves a British lawyer who inadvertently revives Dracula, whose pansexual escapades wreak havoc on the fragile moral order of 1930s London.
After all, if the new Nosferatu film can open on Christmas Day, then certainly we can have spoopy things no matter what the season.
This is, after all, a drag parody that leans into the sexy vampire vibes and updates Bram Stoker's original story for modern sensibilities.
