    32. Arm wrestling (Titans e6)

    Does this even count as a challenge?

    31. Applying makeup (various episodes)

    Applying makeup tests the contestants' drag skills but it does nothing to push them to their limits like more typical Dragula challenges.

    30. Sitting in a dunk tank (s4e8)

    This challenge is funny, just not very extreme.

    29. Riding a mechanical bull (s4e3)

    I can only imagine this challenge is hard if you get motion sick easily.

    28. Searching for a key (various episodes)

    This does not really count as a challenge, but the way the contestants use the key to put other contestants up for extermination has led to some iconic drama.

    27. Getting pelted with food (various episodes)

    If you are Maddelynn Hatter, this challenge is a nightmare. If you are anyone else, it isn’t that bad.

    26. Taking photos in the ocean (various episodes)

    This is a pretty meh challenge. The only thing to be afraid of is getting cold.

    25. Lip syncing against another contestant (s5e4)

    It is hilarious that Dragula had a Lip Sync For Your Life. Maybe we will get a brain-eating challenge on Drag Race soon.

    24. Racing go-karts while being pied in the face by clowns (s4e8)

    The difficulty of this challenge really depends on how much you are afraid of clowns and car accidents.

    23. Visiting an extreme haunted house (various episodes)

    I like haunted houses, so this one seems more fun than scary.

    22. Playing tug of war into a pit of bloody water (Titans e4)

    This challenge sucks for the losers and is pretty tame for the winners.

    21. Getting a trashy tattoo (various episodes)

    Anna Phylactic may not have won this challenge on her season but her willingness to get a tramp stamp that says “NUT TONIGHT” is incredible.

    20. Taking a polygraph test (various episodes)

    This is how you do reality TV drama, folks.

    19. Physically fighting another contestant (various episodes)

    This challenge has caused bruises and chipped teeth. It’s like modern day gladiator sports.

    18. Standing in a bucket of ice for half an hour (s2e6)

    “James, shut up.”

    17. Blowing a dead cockroach into another competitor's mouth (s3e5)

    I just know that if I did this challenge I would accidentally choke on the cockroach.

    16. Getting encased in a latex suffocation room (s4e7)

    Claustrophobes beware. Seriously, being suffocated in latex sounds awful.

    15. Being tied down and covered in rats (s5e3)

    Those rats crawled wherever they wanted and the contestants couldn't do anything about it. Ick.

    14. Submerging your arm in a tank of leeches (s4e2)

    This is the part of the list where I start to question if I would be able to do these challenges. Leeches are nasty and putting your arm in a tank full of them would be even nastier.

    13. Receiving electric shocks (various episodes)

    Dragula loves electric shock challenges and the quality of the challenges vary depending on how they are set up. Personally, the life-sized game of Operation is my favorite.

    12. Being buried alive in a coffin full of bugs (various episodes)

    This was the first ever extermination challenge and considering it made Meatball pee her pants, it’s no wonder they brought it back for season 4.

    11. Standing in a room full of cockroaches (s4e6)

    The fact that both contestants were wearing wigs for this challenge makes it way worse. Nobody wants roaches in their hair.

    10. Bobbing for apples in a bucket of blood and organs (Titans e1)

    Imagine thinking you won this challenge only to find out that another contestant found all their apples first and you had stuck your head in a bucket of gore for nothing. Well, that’s exactly what happened to Astrud Aurelia and Melissa Befierce. No prizes for second place!

    9. Moving worms into a beaker using only your mouth (s5e2)

    The sheer number of maggots that the contestants managed to move within the time limit is incredible.

    8. Stapling dollar bills to your body (s3e7)

    This was a great challenge for Dragula because body stapling is a "staple" in alternative drag acts. Ultimately, the challenge was so extreme that it made Louisianna Purchase pass out.

    7. Bungee jumping off a bridge at night (s5e1)

    As far as I am aware, nobody has ever died while bungee jumping from the Bridge to Nowhere, but lots of people have died there from unrelated accidents. That history adds an extra layer of creepiness that not every challenge can boast.

    6. Riding a Gravitron for 3 minutes without vomiting (Titans e3)

    The recommended ride time for a Gravitron is 80 seconds. The contestants rode it for 180 seconds. It’s a miracle nobody threw up.

    5. Eating increasingly spicy foods (Titans e2)

    The drama between Abhora and Erika Klash made this episode. Both contestants managed to eat a Pepper X, the world’s spiciest pepper, and production was forced to add a bonus level to the challenge. My IBS could never.

    4. Eating gross foods (various episodes)

    Live spiders, a whole head of raw garlic, and a meat smoothie are just some of the examples of eating challenges on Dragula. The devil only knows what the Boulet Brothers will make the contestants eat on season 6.

    3. Being locked in a cage and submerged underwater (Titans e7)

    I am terrified of drowning so this challenge looks like one giant panic attack.

    2. Skydiving (s3e1)

    To date, the skydiving challenge is the only time a contestant has been exterminated for refusing to participate. That is enough to earn this cruel test a 2nd place spot.

    1. Being pierced with as many needles as you can stand (s2e1)

    You don’t have to be afraid of needles to squirm at this challenge. It is brutal to watch, made even worse by the fact that nobody knew how many other needles their fellow competitors had endured. This challenge also established Erika Klash as the ultimate extermination queen, a title she maintained during her aforementioned showdown against Abhora. We stan.
