brianna Richards presents fright fest makeup tutorial Audience takes in different and fun ways to characterize own halloween affects by RyAn OsTRy bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com Brianna Richards, Six Flags Fright Fest makeup artist in Gurnee, stopped by the Woodridge Library to present a fun and spooky show-andtell tutorial. While providing a demo and explanation techniques to create Halloween makeup effects and give tips that anyone can use to create a great Halloween look for themselves, Richards said that there is a lot of

work that goes into prepping actors and actresses to provide a scare. “Fright Fest is really popular especially among a lot of teens and families who really just like the haunt culture,” Richards said. “There’s a lot of time and energy to get our actors and actresses ready so they can do their jobs properly.” In order to properly produce the right affects for the actors and actresses, each makeup artist has to work quickly. With more than 500 scare actors and actresses and just 20 make-up

I think people are so interested in it because it really gets you into the hype for the halloween season. artists, each makeup artist is only allotted seven minutes to work on each performer. “We have about a two-hour time frame in order to get everybody on the street and ready to go,” Richards said. Richards has worked in the industry for six years and has been at Fright Fest the past three seasons.

She said growing up being a creative mind has helped her the career path she has decided to choose. “I was a really into arts and crafts as a kid and really wanted to do something in my career path that reflected that,” Richards said. “I started off as self-taught and then I went back to school to become makeup certified and now I actually teach makeup.” Fright Fest, which is only held at Six Flags theme parks in the United States, Canada and Mexico, is based on haunted attractions, themed areas named Scare Zones and live entertainment. Richards, said she wanted to present for the audience at the Woodridge

Library to not only discuss what she does for a living, but to show people how to create prosthetics on their own for Halloween enjoyment. “Showing people how to apply makeup and prosthetics you can buy at the store and how to make yourself into any kind of character that you want to be for Halloween is something that I enjoy doing and want people to take away from this session,” Richards said. “I think people are so interested in it because it really gets you into the hype for the Halloween season. Those who also like the scary movies and like to see the behind the scenes action which I also like is another reason why I think this it’s popular.”

benet Academy falls to loyola in the first of three season-ending games against tough opponents By drake skleBa for the bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com Closing out the 2019 regular season, with Loyola, at St. Rita on October 18th and at home against the defending Class 7A State Champions from Nazareth, Saturday, was the first of three fact-finding encounters for Benet Academy. On a sunny, crisp Saturday afternoon in Wilmette, Loyola (5-2), beat the Redwings 46-14. The Ramblers led 22-0 after one quarter and 36-0 at the half. Loyola’s Aidan Brownlee returned the opening kickoff to the Benet 45 yard line. Rambler leading-rusher, senior Vaughn Pemberton, ran the ball 41-yards to the Redwing four and then ran into the end zone, from there, for the first score of the game. Pemberton (12 carries, 104 yards, 2 TD) rushed for 80 yards in the first quarter and scored again from four yards out. Loyola junior quarterback, JT Thomas (9-for-17, 149 yards, 3TD) hooked up on the first of two scoring strikes to senior tight end Matt Mangan ( three catches, 35 yards, 2TD), from 17-yards on a fourth and goal for a 20-0 lead. A Benet off-sides penalty, led to a Rambler two-point conversion for a 22-0 lead after one quarter. Thomas then connected with Mangan for a 12-yard scoring strike in the second quarter. Jones made it 36-0 Loyola on nine-yard touchdown run right be-

fore halftime. The Ramblers would make it 39-0 on a 48-yard field goal from junior Nate Van Zeist, with 9:06 remaining in the third quarter. Loyola head coach John Holecek took out his first-string defense at this time. After gaining just 60 yards and one first down against the Rambler first-stringers, the Redwing offense immediately went to work. Redwing senior quarterback, Colin Gillespie (15-for-28, 146 yards, 2 TD), connected with senior TE Jake Snell (3 catches, 26 yards, TD) for a six-yard scoring strike with 5:57 left in the third quarter. Holecek kept the first-string Rambler offense on the field for the entire game. The Redwing defense rallied at halftime and totally shut down the potent Rambler offense in the second half. With 11:37 remaining in the game, Gillespie connected with senior Lucas Kosiba (3 catches, 30 yards, TD) on a three-yard touchdown pass, pulling the Redwings to within 39-14. Thomas answered with a 69-yard scoring strike to John Farri to conclude the scoring in the game. A trip to St. Rita (4-3), for another CCL/ESCC crossover with the Mustangs on Friday night awaits the Redwings, followed by a return home to Benedictine University, for an 11 a.m. CCL/ESCC Orange Championship Game on Saturday October 26 with Nazareth (7-1, 2-0).
