LA’s leading immersive Halloween experience, NIGHTS OF THE JACK, is back for its seventh year. Welcoming over 100,000 people every year, greater LA area residents, families, and celebrity fans alike are expected to return to King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas for the annual event.
The ultimate family-friendly Halloween event and celebrity jam-packed destination will be returning with mile-long walking trail with 20+ immersive scenes, pumpkin carvers, hundreds of photo moments, merch shop, face painting, psychic, AR photo moments and digital carnival games. This year, we’ll also experience new light technology that is sure to amaze everyone, AR selfie moments and digital carnival games for prizes alongside unparalleled lantern art activations and tons of new photo moments.
NIGHTS OF THE JACK is Halloween fun for everyone. Adults, families and children alike are welcome and won’t want to miss this hair-raising feast for the senses. Spooky but never scary, kids will love the enchanted renditions of their favorite characters in pumpkin-form and have fun amongst the big multi-sensory scenes. Adults will appreciate the artistry and craftmanship of the elaborate sets and be able to enjoy alcohol from two full bars. Everyone can enjoy picking out Halloween gifts and light-up items from the souvenir shop.
NIGHTS OF THE JACK offers a premium food and beverage experience, including some of LA’s best food trucks. The Spookeasy is a high-end full bar and will have ample Halloween treats for adults, including top shelf spirits, cocktails, craft beer and wine. There will also be sweet treats, coffee, hot cider and cocoa nightly, with special additional dessert trucks on Wednesdays.
"We are thrilled to be returning to King Gillette Ranch with Nights Of The Jack this year," said Ben Biscotti, NIGHTS OF THE JACK co-founder. "It’s the perfect setting for the spooky destination and immersive world we create in Calabasas. We are continuing to evolve and love that we are such a big part of so many family’s Halloween celebrations every year.”
Govee, an innovator in the smart lighting industry, is set to dazzle Nights Of The Jack attendees for the first time this year with its innovative and festive Halloween light show. Embracing the theme that “Lights can be fun,” Govee is excited to introduce the Haunted House of Nights of the Jack—a breathtaking two-story structure adorned with fan-favorite Govee Curtain Lights, Outdoor Lights and Holiday Lights. This colorful and spooky Halloween light show will feature not only stunning visuals but also interactive elements like a lit swing, located at the trail’s midway point, providing a perfect setting for memorable photo opportunities for visitors of all ages.
Inspired by skeleton decoration popularity, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze will make an appearance at NIGHTS OF THE JACK, showcasing a 20-foot animatronic skeleton with giant Almond Breeze Almondmilk cartons located in the graveyard experience. Almond Breeze will be served in hot chocolate stands around Nights of the Jack, providing guests with a non-dairy taste to die for. With 50% more calcium than dairy, Almond Breeze is scary good for bones. Attendees can also pick up coupons and scan QR codes for discounted Almond Breeze product purchases online, so they can support their own bone health at home.
