a dog dies
spoiler
There's no dog.
there's a dead animal
spoiler
Also a stuffed skunk at the end of the film
a horse dies
spoiler
A horse statue (carrying a headless man) comes to life, becoming a real horse. Nothing bad happens to it.
there are spiders
spoiler
A house-sized spider figure made of balloons comes to life - and is still made of balloons. You'd have to be VERY afraid of spiders to have a problem with this one, I'd say.
there are bugs
spoiler
I don't know if spiders count as bugs, but: A house-sized spider figure made of balloons comes to life - and is still made of balloons.
a cat dies
spoiler
But there is a stuffed dead cat.
animals were harmed in the making
spoiler
American Humane Association monitored all animal action. No animals where harmed.
someone leaves without saying goodbye
Yes
there's child abuse
spoiler
They are harmed by slappy but everyone ends up okay.
the abused becomes the abuser
spoiler
Arguably slappy.
someone is restrained
Yes
someone is beaten up by a bully
spoiler
Harassed and threatened by bullies.
there's pedophilia
spoiler
It’s mentioned that an adult man doesn’t have kids but puts on extravagant Halloween displays “for the kids” I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a joke that he is gay or “likes” kids. Both of which are distasteful.
there's decapitation
spoiler
Headless horseman briefly appears.
Someone becomes unconscious
Yes
there are hangings
spoiler
No, but a woman hangs from a tree, wrapped in spider silk from a giant balloon spider. She's physically fine, though.
someone falls to their death
spoiler
Someone falls from the sky and is dazed but physically okay.
a non-human character dies
Yes
someone cheats
spoiler
There's a subplot where the woman lead's boyfriend cheated on her IIRC.
someone is kidnapped
spoiler
Not shown on screen, but mom is kidnapped and tied up.
there are jump scares
Yes
trypophobic content is shown
spoiler
The balloons personally upset me a bit but they fall under the lumpy type not the hole type.
there's ghosts
spoiler
Only Halloween-ghost-figures that come to life.
there are clowns
spoiler
Brief reference to Stephen King's It (shows the balloon coming from the sewer) but is humorous and no actual clown is shown.
someone wets/soils themselves
spoiler
Jokes about diapers.
there's incarceration
spoiler
People and monsters are locked in books
someone has an anxiety attack
Yes
reality is unstable or unhinged
Yes
there's flashing lights or images
Yes

spoiler
Slappy watches people (including a teenage girl) without them knowing, including while they sleep.
the fourth wall is broken
spoiler
Defences to Bitcoin, Instagram, etc.
a pregnant person dies
spoiler
No one is pregnant.
there's childbirth
spoiler
No one is pregnant.
someone has an abortion
spoiler
No one is pregnant.
someone miscarries
spoiler
No one is pregnant.
there's fat jokes
spoiler
No, and that's refreshing, seeing as there's an overweight boy who's bullied - he's bullied for something else, not for his weight. The bullies don't mention his size at all.
someone is misgendered
spoiler
A school bully calls two boys "girls" to mock them.
a minority is misrepresented
spoiler
Possibly gay people.
there's ableist language or behavior
spoiler
Someone buys adult diapers for the nursing home they work at, the cashier comments on them and they act embarrassed/joke about it in a way that implies using adult diapers is something to be ashamed of when so many disabled people need them for a lot of different reasons. There is nothing shameful about wearing adult diapers, wether you are elderly, have incontinece, are paralyzed, have a gastric or bladder issue, or anything else and these jokes only punch down at the disabled and elderly that need them.
Slapping dislikes being called “dummy”.
Slappy is called “psycho” which is an ableist term.
there are nude scenes
spoiler
Someone is pantsed
the ending is sad
spoiler
More like a “we’re going to make another sequel” ending.
a car honks or tires screech
Yes
a car crashes
spoiler
An evil living ventriloquist puppet throws himself on the hood/windshield of a driving car. He starts hitting the windshield, and it starts cracking. The people in the car panick, and the driver begins to lose control of the car, swerving on the road. After several seconds of this, the person driving the car hits the brakes almost at the same time as the car (really only the front wheels) hits a fallen tree, and the puppet goes flying. The scene, or parts of it, may trigger some who have issues with car accidents.
