At a time when hate and intolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community is on the rise, I wanted to write a horror comedy with heart that showcased drag queens and queers as the heroes. Drag queens have always been a symbol of resistance and resilience, so seeing them kick-ass against a bunch of blood-sucking vampires felt like a comical, yet pointed allegory.

Slay is what you might get if you mixed From Dusk Till Dawn with To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Only, instead of putting Hollywood actors in drag, cast lead roles with contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Start your engines. Fan-favorites are coming back to the werk room.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” returns for its eighth season starting May 12, debuting with two episodes on Paramount+.

Twelve queens will return and sashay back into the werk room, where they will compete for a spot in the coveted “Drag Race Hall of Fame” along with a grand cash prize of $200,000.

The queens were unveiled via a special announcement on YouTube.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race Untucked” will also be available to stream on Paramount+, bringing audiences backstage as the queens wait to see who has been eliminated and who has made it one step closer to the Hall of Fame.

Meet the 12 queens who will be competing for the crown:

A flock of drag queens dressed like the Spice Girls stand together on a stage, awaiting final judgement on their performance in an annual competition to win a coveted crown. A villainous blonde in a beehive wig sneers at them. A proud trollop in a neon pink micro skirt wonders aloud if she should take her top off. A shirtless hunk watches from the wings. Finally, the bejeweled diadem lands on the head of a surprise winner and everyone applauds.

“Cut!” calls the director.

Anyone familiar with “RuPaul’s Drag Race” will be forgiven for thinking this is a scene from the upcoming season of the perennially Emmy-winning reality competition show. There certainly are several “Drag Race” luminaries on the stage, including Season 7’s Ginger Minj, Season 9’s Peppermint, Season 11’s Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Season 12’s Jan.

But instead of the familiar “Drag Race” soundstage, these queens are standing in...

Ho, ho, ho! A little jingle and style are coming to slay in the town of Tuckahoe.

Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Jimmy Akingbola, Jordan L. Jones and Simone Joy Jones also star.
