There's a joke where an innocent looking dog is blamed for a murder, and a police officer says it'll have to be put down.

Uhhh....Arguably. One of the vampires has a human slave named Jackie. By the end of the movie, she's become a vampire and enslaved her husband. It's made pretty clear that her heart was evil from the beginning, though.

Not exactly, but the vampires can hypnotize humans to make them not aware of what is going on. Gaslighting is making people doubt their grasp on reality, but there's not really any doubt here, since the humans don't realize that they are being hypnotized.

There are a few scenes where vampires turn into bats and get hurt, including one where a human form vampire throws a bat form vampire against a wall. There's also a scene where a live chicken is put into a bag and is implied to be eaten by a vampire.

Taxidermied animals, a live chicken is given to a vampire (and presumably eaten, though it's not shown), and a dog is wrongly blamed for a murder, reporting that it would be put down as a result.

The vampires play a joke on the humans (a dinner scene) where they tell them their sphagetti has turned into maggotts. It's not sure if it really turns or it is just an illusion, and they don't show closeups. But it sounds gross.

Gratuitous amounts of extraordinarily fake looking blood. It's played for laughs, not trying to be gory. That said, it's still gory enough that if you have a problem with gore, it might be too much.

I believe they use the terminology "eating people" to describe feeding on them. They don't eat their bodies or anything, though, just drink their blood.

The police officers are incompetent, partially because they're hypnotized by the vampires. They do fail to help people and mistakenly blame a dog for a crime in that incompetence.

Not in any major way, but this movie takes place in a different reality than our own that has vampires and zombies and werewolves and all sorts of things like that, and some of them are capable of manipulating human minds, like vampire hypnosis, in ways such as forgetting things happened, believing things that aren't true, working against their own desire/will, etc.

most blood effects are exagerrated for comic effect, for example, one vampire accidentally bites into a main artery and blood begins to shoot out like a fountain as he tries to catch it with his mouth. later, a character is mauled by a pack of werewolves. the violence is mostly offscreen, but the chase scene could be distressing and the aftermath is technically shown, albeit mosaic censored.
