#ScaredFamous: Alaska Isn’t Easily Spooked, “I Spend a Lot of Time with Drag Queens, Which is Pretty Terrifying.”

Alaska isn’t afraid of scary movies or scary drag queens. (After all, she is one.)

This month, Ms. Thunderfuck appears on VH1‘s Scared Famous as one of 10 reality stars living in a haunted house in Savannah, Georgia and competing in challenges inspired by old horror films. The winner will be able to make a $100,000 donation to the charity of their choice.

Alaska told Bustle that she’s not scared of what’s to come on the series.

“I love scary stuff and I’m also not really easily scared because, I mean, I spend a lot of time with drag queens, which is pretty terrifying on its own. So I was looking forward to the challenge.

I always liked Dracula, and I alway wanted to dress up as Dracula when I was a kid because he gets to wear white face makeup and dark black eyes and red lips, so basically Katya’s makeup. He also wears jewelry and a cape and a dress so I love that. I love Dracula, all of his iterations are always very sexy and mysterious.“

It’s hosted by the rapper Redman, with stars from various reality series, like Tiffany “New York” Pollard from Flavor of Love and Eva Marcille from America’s Next Top Model.

According to Alaska, Halloween is a door to drag for many,

“I think it’s a gateway for so many people because they get to dabble a little bit further than they would ever go. You know they say a billion drag queens are born every Halloween because it’s true. That’s the time when people get to try it as a joke and sort of get their toes wet, and then just see the magic and the power of it.“

She says of her time on Scared Famous.

“I woke up early I got in drag every single day. It’s weird but it’s also cool being the only drag queen, I like it. It reminded me of what it was like when I was first starting out, amongst my friends I was the only insane person doing drag. So it was sort of like a return to my youth, and I liked that.”“

The series was also a chance to raise money for an important cause. Each contestant got to select a charity to donate to should they win, and Alaska chose the the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

“I love the LGBT Center, and I think anyone who lives near or around Los Angeles has been touched by the Center in some way. They offer so many resources, especially to young people. I mean these kids, they come out to their families and they are shunned and thrown out of their house and are homeless, and it’s really f*cking hard. The LGBT center is there and they offer so many resources.“

VH1‘s Scared Famous premiered October 23. A poll is being conducted to see who YOU think will win and each week they’ll be updating it.
