This fall, Los Angeles’ leading immersive Halloween experience and most celebrated tradition rises again: Night Of The Jack is back for its 8th season, promising more magic, more spectacle and more reasons to make it your annual autumn tradition. From Friday, September 26 through Saturday, November 1, King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas will once again transform into an electrifying world of pumpkins, lanterns and immersive art, welcoming families and celebrities alike for a one-of-a-kind Halloween adventure.
Drawing over 100,000 visitors each year, Night of the Jack has become the ultimate destination for spooky season in southern California. This year’s trail is packed with over 30 jaw-dropping scenes, live pumpkin carving, interactive light installations, cutting-edge projection mapping and endless photo-worthy moments. Guests can expect brand-new environments and reimagined favorites—all designed to thrill without the scares, making it perfect for all ages.
2025 Highlights:
- A mile-long trail of immersive worlds, blending artistry with state-of-the-art technology.
- New multi-sensory experiences using projection mapping and pixel technology that transform the landscape into a living, glowing canvas.
- Family-friendly fun like pumpkin-carvers, face painting and tricked-out light-up souvenirs.

“We’re beyond excited to return to King Gillette Ranch for our biggest year yet,” said Ben Biscotti, co-founder of Night of the Jack. “Every season, we push ourselves to outdo the last, and 2025 is no exception. This event has become so many families’ annual tradition, and we can’t wait to share all the surprises we have in store for this year, including cutting-edge projection mapping and more technology updates for brighter lights and wow factors.”
Guests can also celebrate a little bit of Calabasas’ history from the very location that inspired the event. According to legend dating back to 1824, a rancher from Oxnard spilled a wagonload of pumpkins while on the way to Los Angeles and later, hundreds of pumpkins sprouted alongside the road, giving rise to the name Calabasas, “the place where the pumpkins fell.”
