Not very much, but there is a drop in one scene and some coming from multiple stab wounds when someone is impaled on horns and antlers.

Otherwise, a vampire kind of melts as he transforms into a skull. Not very graphic.

No one gets shot, but the husband who's wife cheated on him holds the wife's lover at gunpoint and taunts him. The lover is visibly in distress, thinking he's gonna be killed.
