Halloween costumes and 'looks' have come a long way since the good old days when you'd daub on some cheap face paint and sport a bad wig to celebrate.
For film fans in particular, there are an abundance of Halloween-appropriate characters - from terrifying villains like Freddy Krueger, to more family-friendly ones such as Minnie Mouse.
She says: "My real inspiration though came on the weekends from the kids who went to the eccentric local club and drag queens who all inspired me to explore outlandish party looks."
This turned Jody to sharing her looks online with other make-up enthusiasts.
Incorporating some recognisable looks with more unique ones, Jody shows she is MORE than ready for Halloween with several terrifying transformations.
With all this choice and inspiration, many make-up fans have turned it into a fine art. Seattle-based blogger and make-up artist Jody has eight years experience in the beauty industry after getting into make-up artistry after school and studying fashion.
1. Freddy Krueger/victim
Like many of us, Jody was terrified by the 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' character when growing up(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)Of this look, Jody says: "I was going for half Freddy, half unsuspecting dumb blonde slow running victim!
"Special effects makeup isn't an area I usually work in, but I think it turned out pretty ugly!"

2. Terminatrix
The Terminator gets a make-over with a twist for Halloween(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)Describing her inspiration behind her Terminatrix look, Jody says: "One of my dad's favorite movies is 'The Terminator' and he's always quoting lines from it.
"It's light on the gore with the Monroe Misfit Makeup glamour twist. I wanted it to look as if my face had been ripped away revealing my true form.
"I rarely do special effects and gore makeup, so if I can give it a go, anyone can."

3. "Pop Tart" Graffiti Girl
It may not be the most straightforward look to perfect (it requires a prosthetic), but it certainly has an impact(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)Not for the faint-hearted, this is one of Jody's favourite looks.
"This one embodies glamour, grit and pop art, and all that's weird.
"Based on one of my favorite artists, a London-based Street Graffiti Artist known as D*face , it's a take on his work of a decayed Marilyn image titled 'Pop Tart'."

4. Monroe Misfit Monster
Be warned, this look requires A LOT of make up(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)This is another look Jody created and honed, inspired by both Marilyn herself and the punk rock band, The Misfits.
Explaining how it can be perfected further, Jody says: "For a more final version I'd block out the brows and get more detailed with the teeth and shading.
"It's a bit disturbing it took half the products to look like a monster, and twice as many for the normal makeup!"

4. Unzipped
'Unzipped' is a bit more of a low-maintenance look, but still has a pretty gruesome effect(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)Explaining this look is "an oldie but a goodie!", Jody originally put together this look when she first started getting in to makeup.
"I still love the effect, and I was all out of ideas for what to do for a last-minute event.
"MAC Halloween Face Charts are a great way to get 'halloweeny' when a costume isn't required or you don't have time to put one together, and this one is pretty easy to do!"
Jody explains that this is a good look if you're stuck for something at short noitce(Image: Monroe Misfit Makeup)Aware that not every party-goer and trick-or-treater will have a make-up bag as well-stocked make-up as her own, Jody has also come up with her five cosmetic must-haves for Halloween. 1. Fake Eye Lashes 2. Red Lipstick 3. Black Eyeshadow 4. Basic Face Paint Kit 5. Fake Blood
At some point – soon I am hoping – feminists are going to realize they have solved all the problems they set out to solve for girls and we can turn our attention to real problem now facing society: the boy crisis . I think we are so unprepared to see the problems right in front of our eyes. When I interviewed Dr . Warren Farrell , author of The Boy Crisis : Why Our Boys are Struggling And What We Can Do About It, I asked him to start by identifying the problems facing boys. It really is apparent that it is a first world problem: Farrell says that in 70 developed nations, boys have fallen behind girls in tests of knowledge. We have a generation of boys being raised that will have less education than their fathers. We have boys disproportionately diagnosed with ADHD , living in their parents’ basements with no purpose, addicted to video games, addicted to pornography, addicted to drugs, and in the extreme committing suicide and homicide.

Steve and Katie Koopman have only recently returned to their home just north of Kingston. They spent a week in Fort Hope north of Thunder Bay . Their interest in the community or more specifically in the girls’ peewee hockey team “ Rez Girls 64 ” Wolves goes back to a documentary that Katie heard on the radio. “They had gone to a tournament a year ago,” explained Katie . “Their first tournament in Thunder Bay and it was a good experience but then they experienced some racism. I don’t think that trumped their whole experience in Thunder Bay.” The girls’ team also faced challenges with equipment, ice time and were in the process of fundraising to participate in another tournament in Kanata last March .
