A parent who is a background character. He doesn't have a lot of screen time, but he is portrayed as an abusive alcoholic parent which might be triggering.

(SPOILER) Basically, Freddy asks a teen if she wants to "suck face" and she gasps "no" just before he puts his mouth on hers and sucks her body totally dry.

No, though there may be varied answers because Freddy emerges from his grave where he was buried at the end of the last movie, but to wit, Freddy was already dead.

Kinda, but not in the traditional sense. Freddy himself is dead, though it's not clear exactly what he is supposed to be, and the souls of his victims are freed at the end, though I think that they are "souls" rather than "ghosts" per se.

It depends on what you count. There is a dream sequence where someone is in an elevator that is speeding downward, but the terror is more about being on a rapidly descending elevator and there is no emphasis on the size of the space nor does he struggle to get out. That said, if you have claustrophobia and elevators make you nervous, you probably won't like that scene.

Kind of. Not slurs per se, but on a minor level (for me as a queer person), one male character cracks a joke implying two other male friends are gay and they razz him back. While it implies that being gay is supposed to be bad, but is fleeting and not said with malice and is not directed at an LGBTQIA+ character.

As a Q/T person who is re-watching this entire series looking at queer content, there were no explicitly queer characters (and technically the queerest thing about this is Robert Englund in drag as a nurse). That said, though it isn't especially written as such, it is loosely inferable that the female weight lifter is queer and I'm guessing that that is what the yes votes are for. Her queerness is never explicitly established and it plays no role in her death.

Kind of. A kid winds up inside his water bed in his dream, but he's stabbed to death before he has an opportunity to drown. That said, when his mom finds his body, the idea might be that he drowned in real life while Freddy was killing him in his dream, but a drowning is not depicted.
