Family-friendly fright nights are back at Nights of the Jack at King Gillette Ranch returns to the canyon through October 31.
Thousands of glimmering, expertly carved Jack O’Lantern installations from aliens and UFOs to sports teams to high end designers – every aspect of life is covered in a pumpkin-like vibe.

The dimly lit yet magical 2/3 mile path (recently expanded to include plenty of room for social distancing) is nothing short of enchanting with creepy tunes and witch cackles, cocktails at the Spookeasy Bar, food trucks serving festive fall treats, Tarot readings and so much more. This is an annual event not to be missed!
Editor in Chief Cece Woods considers herself the “accidental activist”.
Having spent most her childhood on sands of Zuma Beach, Cece left Southern California in her early 20’s, but it was only a matter of time before she returned to the idyllic place that held so many wonderful memories from her youth.
In 2006, she made the journey back to Malibu permanently, the passion to preserve it was ignited.
In 2012, Cece became involved in local environmental and political activism at the urging of former husband Steve Woods, a resident for more than 4o years. Together, they were involved in many high-profile environmental battles including the Malibu Lagoon Restoration Project, Measure R, Measure W, and more.
Cece founded influential print and online media publications, 90265 Magazine in 2013 highlighting the authentic Malibu lifestyle, and The Local Malibu, an online news media site with a strategic focus on environmental and political activism.
In the summer of 2018, Cece broke multiple global stories including the law enforcement cover-up in the Malibu Creek State Park Shootings, and is considered by major news media as a trusted authority on Malibu.
