a dog dies
spoiler
Two police officers find a dead dog in Micheals old home, the same one Dr. Loomis found in the original movie. The body is shown and it’s pretty disturbing (to me at least). Skip the first minute or so after the officers enter the house to skip over it.

Crickets can be heard, but not seen.

It’s pretty graphic, but only lasts for a few seconds of screentime.

spoiler
It’s implied that Michael is not entirely “human,” but whether we’re meant to assume he’s a ghost or a demon or just an otherworldly entity is kind of ambiguous

spoiler
Fake, but may still be hard to look at. Turn away when the girl comes to the door and screams that her friend’s candy had a razor blade in it.

spoiler
There are two scenes with needles. One with a nurse administering something to a hospital patient and another with a character forcibly jabbing themselves with what they assume is morphine.
There is also a brief replay from the 2018 movie of Dr. Sartain stabbing Frank with his pen knife. It’s not a needle but it bothered my partner so I felt I should put it for others.
there's a mental institution scene
spoiler
There is mention of Michael and another patient escaping a mental institution (basically recap of the last movie), and a very brief flashback from the 1978 movie that took place on the grounds of a mental institution but otherwise theres no direct scene in this movie.

A good portion of the movie takes place in a hospital

There is a man who wears a skirt as a Halloween costume, but the movies doesn’t go depict this as a joke in regards to this.
there's ableist language or behavior
spoiler

an LGBT person dies
spoiler
It should be noted that the relationship is handled respectfully and casually, and the characters are not killed because they’re gay

Laurie is technically homeless since her house burned down, but it’s no one really mentions it.
