Haunted houses are cabarets,” BenDeLaCreme said. “You move from space to space and different things happen.”
The artist, writer, director, producer, drag performer, and queer TV icon was in ACT Theatre’s Bullitt Cabaret space, busily turning it into the interior of a haunted house. He was not in drag. He was wearing black boots, dark pants, a black sweatshirt with hilariously large drawings of houseflies on it, and a pen behind his ear. It was two weeks before opening night of Beware the Terror of Gaylord Manor, a new Halloween show he calls a “creepy, campy, fully immersive tale of Halloween horror sure to leave you howling.”
