Never on screen or explicit but story 5 could be triggering for survivors of child abuse. The ending shows the villain holding the child's arm in a tight grip and giving a cruel smile when the child realizes he is the villain. He tells the child he can call him Daddy now. The story ends there.

in story 4 a man places his hand on his wifes neck firmly as if about to choke her when she challenges his beliefs. Later he is violent toward his wife when she tries to convince him to see a doctor for his strange behavior. he throws a vase at her and lifts up a flower pot to drop on her head but seeing her crying for him to stop, he stops and leaves.

In story #1 "The Lake," a fish is caught by hand and eaten raw. Fish in a tank are apparently eaten as well, offscreen.
In story #6 "Sundown," a little red bird meets the same fate.

No but an adult in story 1 is extremely predatory toward a minor. she is revealed to have a history of coercing minors into sex. She does not succeed with this character, but nonverbally flirts and coerces him.

In story #2 "Brand of Evil," a Black man asks another Black man if he's "one'a them Black and bougie n--s." Though he means the phrase as derogatory, the term itself seems like a typical expression for the character.
In story #6 "Sundown," a white woman offscreen uses the word, shouting, about a Black senatorial candidate.

It's unclear. The characters that died in the lake may have died of something else. But as far as drowning triggers go, maybe steer clear of story #1 "The Lake."
