"Friday Nights"
Enter a world of enchantment and excitement at the annual 'Thriller Night'—a Halloween extravaganza like no other! Held at the historic Jackson residence in Encino, California, this fundraising event has become a must-attend experience for Halloween enthusiasts from around the world. Taking place over Halloween weekend, 'Thriller Night' offers two main celebrations that promise unforgettable thrills and chills.
The first night, known as the Friday Night Celebration, serves as our flagship fundraising event.

Media coverage captures every moment as attendees mingle with celebrities and have the opportunity to connect with brands. But that's just the beginning—prepare to be amazed as the entire property undergoes a mesmerizing transformation into a haunted house. Intricate mazes and live actors bring the spine-chilling atmosphere to life, guaranteeing a night filled with heart-pounding scares and hair-raising excitement.
In addition to the haunting ambiance, 'Thriller Night' proudly showcases priceless memorabilia from the personal collection of the legendary Michael Jackson. Immerse yourself in his world as you behold the original jackets worn in the iconic 'Thriller' music video—a rare treat made possible through the generous collaboration with John Branca and the Estate of Michael Jackson. These artifacts stand as timeless reminders of the King of Pop's influence and artistry.
An eagerly anticipated highlight of the event is the presentation of the 'Man in the Mirror' Award. This prestigious accolade was introduced in 2022 to honor influential individuals who leverage their platform to effect positive change in society. Past recipients, including the renowned Chris Tucker and the esteemed Steve Harvey, have been recognized for their significant contributions in making a difference.
Overall, 'Thriller Night' is not only a resounding success as a fundraising event, but it also celebrates the timeless legacy of Michael Jackson.

"Kid's Halloween Party"
But the Halloween festivities don't end there. The second day of the event, known as the 'Kids' Halloween Party,' carries on the spirit and legacy of Michael Jackson. Inspired by his dedication to brightening the lives of less fortunate children, 'Thriller Night' aims to create a similar experience to when Michael used to invite less fortunate children to his beloved Neverland Ranch. Over 200 to 250 young individuals gather at the historic Jackson residence, where they can truly embrace the Halloween spirit. The 'Kids' Halloween Party' offers a day filled with laughter, excitement, and delightful surprises. From navigating through a thrilling haunted house maze to participating in a captivating costume contest, and even showcasing their dance skills in a lively dance-off, the children experience a Halloween celebration they might not otherwise have.
Through this event, we strive to keep Michael's legacy alive by continuing his mission of spreading happiness and creating cherished memories for those in need. To wrap up the festivities on a heartwarming note, all participants receive goodie bags generously filled with toys, candy, and other delightful treats—made possible through the kindness and support of our sponsors.
