During a Brooklyn drag‑queen warehouse show, Dre (Katy O’Brian) scrambles to hold her drag fam together—but a sudden zombie outbreak transforms the party into a glam‑gore survival spectacle. Forced to unite, a fierce ensemble of drag performers and club kids harness their flair—sequins, showmanship, and sass—to fight back against the undead. With performances by drag legends, gay icons and horror icons including Jaquel Spivey, Nina West, Tomás Matos, Margaret Cho, Jack Haven, Cheyenne Jackson, and Riki Lindhome, Queens of the Dead injects queer pride, camp humor, and social satire into a zombie apocalypse. Tina Romero takes her father’s horror legacy and stirs in a wildly colorful, unapologetically queer rebellion—zombies never looked so fabulous.
