BGA game suggestions with a Halloween / scary theme?

Pre-COVID, I'd always have a meetup with a Halloween-type theme. We played games like Deception, Arkham Horror, Betrayal on the House on the Hill (? something like that). Alas, none of these games are on BGA.

Are there any other Halloween- or spooky-themed games you'd suggest for a group of players? (Yes, there is Mr. Jack, though the max player count is 2.)

Not Alone is maybe a decent starting point. Being stalked by an alien on an alien planet is at least tense, even if it's not supernatural style horror.

There is also Werewolf on here as a social deduction game.

There could be a few others, but those are the ones that jump to mind. I'd love to see Betrayal At House On The Hill on here, especially if it could adjust the difficulty for haunts based on how weapons were distributed, how key rooms were located, and other little factors that the boardgame itself can't account for easily.

Btw, is there any game, even few known which aim to scare you?

I believe videos games does that 10 times better, but it could be an interresting experience.

Potion Explosion could be a decent pick as it links to witchcraft etc, but that is 4 player max
