the scarecrow scenes have a lot of hissing cockroaches (if you wanna get specific), and the whole Red Dot scene is all about spiders and body horror

The girl with albinism that wrote the stories is repeatedly blamed by her family for crimes she didn't do, to where all the townsfolk believe she committed them and try to stay away from her. She's even sent to a mental institution by her family to try and convince her she did them through shock therapy and other methods.

A major plot point of a movie is a woman who was abused in the past. A later scene depicts the protagonist experiencing said womans memories of abuse. Nothing too graphic.

One of the characters is asked “are you drunk again?” by his mom so it’s implied he may be an alcoholic but it’s very brief, not a focus, and not mentioned again

Not exactly amputation but there is a scene where various body parts (arms, legs, head, and torso) fall down a fireplace and reconnect forming one whole body . In another scene the monster gets hit by a car and falls apart, reconnecting again. Not technically amputation but still may be distressing If amputation bothers you

Kind of? The main character is dragged to another room against her will by several people, it isn't technically kidnapping but might resemble a similar situation.

for just a few scenes one of the characters, Auggie, dresses as a Pierrot for Halloween. not quite a clown but very clown like (he doesn't have any make up, or a nose on, however)

Several, of different kinds. Some of them, who are in a past that sort of blends with the present, look and act 100% like living persons, whereas other are scary-looking (whitish and with strange eyes etc.).

Not directly, but one of the kids gets absorbed into the monster by her holding him to her chest, so it still has potential to be triggering

There is no autism specific abuse. However, one of the main plot points of the movie is a girl with albinism who's repeatedly abused by her family for the way she looks.

Someone pricks their own finger, drawing blood, but that's for a "practical" reason, not out of mental/emotional suffering.

Ramon isn't technically 'homeless' but he is implied to be living out of his car as a migrant worker following the harvests.

It ends on a hopeful note, but the results of the horrible events have not been reversed.

Characters are stabbed but no blood is ever shown. Tiny drops appear from the book but nothing overly graphic.
