The dog's body is implied to be stored inside the smaller cotton candy cocoon found hanging next to its owner's cocoon. (The filmmakers have confirmed that the mini-cocoon is the dog.)

Characters are told they just imagined things when they see weird and scary stuff happening. I would say it’s unintentional gaslighting because the stuff they’re saying is pretty hard to believe.

I don't think this counts since it's humorous but just in case. A cop puts cuffs on a clown and he pulls on them and the hands literally pop right off (no gore, like exact replica gloves of the clown's hand, but it really is his hands). He regrows them a minute later

** SPOILER **

We see a killer clown attempt to lure a child out of a fast food restaurant while holding a large mallet behind its back. The child is called back inside by a close adult before anything happens.

Not a death, but this scene alludes to the possibility of one.
