A main plot point is a woman killing her husband but she says in a later monologue that she felt victimized and used, but there are no specifics and she says this in a moment she's trying to manipulate someone.

I would say possibly. Elaine definitely creates new realities for the men she's sleeping with by telling them what they want to hear, then lying to others. I'm not sure if it would be considered gaslighting but I can see how someone might still be triggered by it.

Near the end of the film, Elaine and the cop have a conversation in the bar. Eventually, he will try to arrest her for her actions earlier in the film. When the bar patrons find out what she did, they begin to attack her and some men throw her to the ground, quickly strip her dress, and there's some shots of men unbuckling their pants. It is clear that they intend to rape her, one man makes it on top of her before he is pulled off and she is brought to safety by the cop. There is also room to discuss Elaine's sex with the men throughout the entirety of the film, seeing as they are taken by either spells or drugs to have sex with her, they technically cannot fully consent to the sex they're having.

A major plot point is the main character drugging and seducing men. It's unclear whether the director meant it to be comedic. The men initially seem to consent, but they are drugged, so there is no true consent.

The descriptive "horror" isn't particularly accurate here - it's more an homage to and satire of 60s horror camp tropes. There are a few creepy scenes but it's all very plodding and slow. There's an absurd jumpcut from a man's face to a very fake skull. There's a man in a flashback going from looking happy and smiling to looking very ill and apparently dying. There's a little bit of very stylized violence and blood. In last scene there's a ton of cutting back and forth between another scene and then shots of a man's face and chest dead and bloody.

EXTREME SPOILER OF THE END OF THE MOVIE:
A man Elaine gives hallucinogenic herbs to and sleeps with has a meltdown after they have sex, the meltdown is related to loving Elaine too much. he was under the influence of a love spell and devil’s weed (datura)
Trish attacks Elaine after discovering something horrible Elaine did, and calls her “bi*ch sk*nk wh*re”
Elaine feels rejected when a love interest denies a drink (love spell) she made for him, so she holds a rose, admires her reflection with a dead stare, then brutally stabs Griff while daydreaming that killing him will make him love her eternally

A character cuts his wrists in the bathtub and dies. The act is not shown but his body is. Whether it's truly suicide is ambiguous as the man is implied to be under the influence of witchcraft.

No, but it's worth mentioning that this movie has pretty blatant overtones of biological essentialism. It's assertion that 'biology is destiny' could be triggering if you're uncomfortable with misgendering.

A sex scene where we see a woman strip down to a thong, then when they are in bed we see a man's naked butt thrusting. There are also flashbacks to this scene.
We see a woman in just garter belt and stockings on a bed but her body and hair are arranged so we see very little nudity - mostly just some of her butt. We also see her with her hands above her head very loosely tied with some gold string, but her breasts are covered by her hair. But there is implied light bondage.
A witchcraft scene that repeats in many flashbacks with some full frontal nudity but somewhat covered by lots of pubic hair. Implied sexual assault in same scene with someone being tied down and looking fearful as a man climbs on top of her and many (mostly naked but partially covered by capes and hair) people watch. There are other witchcraft scenes with people standing fully unclothed or only wearing capes next to other people fully dresses.
A scene of a character outdoors in just a thong but her hair mostly covers her breasts.
A burlesque performance scene but no full nudity - dance ends in pasties and a thong.
A short striptease dance where a woman strips down to underwear but her hair mostly covers her breasts.
All the sex and nudity is highly stylized and sort of intentionally campy and absurd, rather than the tone of an erotic thriller or sex comedy or something.
An outdoor scene of witchcraft with many naked people kneeling in a circle and later walking in a circle hand in hand. We get lingering shots of the back of their bodies and some full frontal (flacid) male and female nudity obscured by lots of pubic hair. And a man ritualustically kissing a woman dressed in underwear and a cape, but her hair covers her breasts.
There's also a scene where a bunch of people undress two people to their underwear and re-dress them in costumes. It's not sexual but you do see both people in their underwear.
We see a woman getting dressed in another woman's underwear and wearing just underwear and a sheer robe. Later the woman struggles over a knife with another woman and the second woman's dress rudes up to reveal undergarments.

We do see two sisters dressed alike in matching bodysuits doing a dance together onstage in a burlesque club after being told that they needed to learn to dance to "harness their sexual power." There's no nudity or particularly sexual touching between them, just sultry glances and the vague implication that patrons of the club like watching their act because they are sisters.

The use tampon is seen briefly and is not particularly graphic - it's just a little red, they don't close up on the blood's texture or anything.
Also a spot of blood - implied to be from menstruation - on a sheet is shown a couple times.
A man is found dead in a bathtub. We see his blood on the floor, on a razor blade, and on him. But it's very stylized, not realistic, like the whole film.
A man is stabbed onscreen - lots of blood and sound effects and then it's implied but not shown that his heart is cut out. Also repeated flashbacks to his dead face and bloody chest.
