How can I celebrate Halloween while camping?

I'm going camping on October 31st with a few friends. What are some fun but minimally scary things we can do to celebrate Halloween?

I always go nuts on Halloween and make a ton of plans on multiple nights with lots of people and costumes and adventure. However this year... Covid happened. So no plans, no parties, no parades.

I am however going camping with three very dear friends on Halloween night, which should still be a lot of fun. We are seasoned campers and are staying at a campsite that is basically just in the middle of the woods, with minimal amenities beyond what we bring ourselves. We'll be in tents and cooking over a campfire.

What can we do to celebrate Halloween? Here's the wrinkle. My friends are very easily scared and I dont want anyone to be uncomfortable. So much as I would love running through the woods in the pitch dark, or listening to blood curdling horror stories... these particular friends would hate that.

So I'm looking for GENTLE Halloween things to do. Any ideas for horror themed cocktails? or things I could cook/bake? Maybe some games we could play or stories we could listen to that are not THAT gruesome? I'll have my car, so I can carry/bring whatever. Also! Our campsite is in New Jersey so it'll be COLD at night. So costumes will probably not happen.

Here is an example of something I was considering scary sounds...but might be too scary. I will preview it first.
