She walks like an Egyptian, mashes like a monster, and in her own words, has a sound that&#8217;s &#8220;a blend of metal, dance, and the old drive-in movie theater&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Characula online from her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.characula.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Characula\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/characula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/characula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundcloud<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/characula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jcYOxM51bXI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s just about Halloween and you know what that means!
