MONSTER MASHERS BEWARE – THIS HALLOWEEN, CHARACULA
AND MUMMIES EVERYWHERE ARE DOING THE ‘MUMMY DANCE’!
The Indie Horror Rocker Takes Creepy Seduction
To A New Level With Her New Video For Her Exotic
And Ghoulish Track – A 2013 Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA)
Nominee For Best Alternative Song
How does indie horror rocker Characula (www.characula.com) celebrate Halloween - her favorite night of the year?
Forget the boring trick or treat candy. She’s got a tasty tarantula on her plate, ready to dig in and “get down with the mummies” in the exotic, creepy-cool new video for her hit radio single “Mummy Dance!”
An exciting peek into the wondrous world of Characula, the ghoulish, sci-fi flavored music clip was created by award winning Canadian television, commercial and video director and cinematographer Martin Julian.
It will be released Thursday, October 24 on Characula’s dedicated YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/characula), her website and other outlets.
Characula has already received substantial national radio airplay for “Mummy Dance” and recently picked up her second overall Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA) for the song in the Alternative category. Her other nomination is for “Ready For Love” in the Contemporary/AAA category.
“Characula is an elegant, sophisticated woman who eats spiders and carries on epic romances with mummies and other fiendish creatures of the night,” says the multi-talented singer/songwriter. “The video is an intimate, candid look at the life of Characula in all her glorious eccentricity.” There are hovering pyramids, beautiful dancers and exotic scenery to add to the video’s sexy, sci-fi vibe!
The lyrics of “Mummy Dance” include vibrant, authentic references to ancient Egypt and pay homage to paranormal radio legend, Art Bell: Kingdom of Nye, Valley of Kings, Osiris, Cleopatra, King Tut, Nephren-Ka, ba-ka, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, pharaoh and The Nile.
The horror rock goddess currently has two songs “Dead Light District Dolls” and “Mummy Dance” gaining traction on the Mediabase Activator chart.
Characula emerged from the shadows Saturday, October 19 to perform at halftime of a roller derby game of the L.A. Derby Dolls, Southern California’s premiere all-female, banked track roller derby league. She is currently working on her debut album with famed producer, Dito Godwin.

TIME TO TOSS THAT OLD SCRATCHED 45 OF ‘MONSTER MASH’— The Creepy-Cool Track, From Her Upcoming Debut Album
Let the old schoolers pull out their scratched 45s of “Monster Mash” and tapes and CDs of Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller.” This Halloween the cool kids know where the ghoulish musical fun is: with SoCal horror rocker Characula (www.characula.com), celebrating her favorite season with the release of her eerie but super-fun new single “Dead Light District Dolls!” The creepishly cool track, now available on iTunes, Amazon, and other digital retailers, is currently impacting Triple AAA Radio in the U.S. It comes off her upcoming debut album produced by Dito Godwin (No Doubt, Great White, KISS, Motley Crue). The vinyl edition will have eight tracks—one for each leg of a spider! As October 31 inches closer, Characula will emerge from the shadows Saturday, October 19 to perform at halftime of a roller derby game of the L.A. Derby Dolls, Southern California’s premiere all-female roller derby league. The game will feature a Halloween costume contest, with the winner announced at halftime. Characula won’t be staying in the crypt long after Halloween. Earlier this year, she received her first ever Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) nomination for a blistering cover of Bad Company‘s “Ready For Love,” and a second nomination for the ghoulish song “Mummy Dance.” ”Mummy Dance” and its chilling music video are scheduled for release this Halloween! She’ll find out who wins at the upcoming 2013 event, set for Thursday, November 21 at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. Cheri Anaclerio, aka Characula, unleashes the demons in her powerhouse imagination to create, in a tip of the blood-dripped cap to Frank Zappa, blistering music about monsters, sex and rock ‘n roll. An engineer by trade, Characula’s inner truth has been coming to light since the fall of 2012. Before Halloween and for a few weeks after last year, her infectiously ghoulish single “Mummy Dance” snagged airplay on numerous Top 40 stations across the country. Her singles are being promoted by Howie Rosen of Howard Rosen Promotion, Inc. (www.howiewood.com). |
