* SerendipityWritesThePlot: According to Jarvis Hammer's backstory, he died in the 1970s after being crushed to death by some falling stagelights. This is the ''exact'' way Jarvis [[spoiler: is killed off after failing the extermination]]. According to their podcast, the Boulets were completely unaware of this aspect of Jarvis' backstory and picked [[spoiler: death by stagelights]] because they felt it was an appropriate way to cap off the extermination challenge. Needless to say, they are positively giddy at how things worked out.

** Orkgotik developed a crush on Niohuru X right off the gate in Season 5. The two subsequently revealed they are dating. Some contestants understandably expressed concern about a repeat of Titans' RomanticPlotTumour.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: On their podcast, the Boulets confirmed that there was a twelfth contestant cast on Season 5 who dropped out prior to filming and wasn't replaced. This is most likely why [[spoiler:Jay Kay]] was brought back in the second episode.

* ChannelHop: Every time Dragula comes back for a new season, it seems to be on a new channel. The first season aired as a standalone project on the ''Hey Qween'' [=YouTube=] channel. Season 2 also aired on [=YouTube=], although this time the official WOW Presents channel, while airing on [=OutTV=] in Canada. Season 3 jumped to Amazon Prime (which also lead to the first two seasons getting pulled from [=YouTube=]), and then Season 4 moved again to horror movie streaming service Shudder.
** Finally averted, with Shudder renewing the show for a fifth season (along with an announcement that it had been the most popular program on the service for the entire airing of season four!).

** James Majesty intended to give herself a golden shower as part of her Finale Filth look but wasn't allowed to perform the act on set. This led to the giant sausage and mustard moment instead.
** Victoria Elizabeth Black's Finale Filth look also suffered as a result of the censorship concerns, as Victoria apparently fisted the fake corpse she used during her Floor Show and then disemboweled it through its ass. While she did manage to perform this on stage, it was cut from the episode.
