Bear with Us, Gurrrl Ep 2: Dragula Season 1 Winner Vander Von Odd
Teddy Bear and Alexander Rodriguez chat with Dragula Season 1’s winner, Vander Von Odd about growing up in a small town, the beauty in horror films, changing the LGBTQ script in the horror genre, cancel culture, labels in our community, coming out, becoming a voice for youth, behind the scenes of filming Dragula, drag culture, closet space, and more!
Vander Von Odd was born and raised in a small, conservative border town where their only escape were their books and the horror section of the video rental store. Empowered by anti-heroes, villains, witches, and monsters, Vander is most inspired by the dichotomy in these; good and evil, logic and superstition, masculine and feminine. Vander is a filmmaker and a drag artist who competed on Season 1 of The Boulet Brothers' DRAGULA, and was crowned the World's First Drag Supermonster.
