There are taxidermy heads and animals all over the movie. Nothing freshly dead or unstuffed.

there is some gore after the radio scene where we see the aftermath of a car crash with 4 dead high school kids-but the scene is more for comedy- when one of the teens being put on a carrier the actor starts laughing so it’s not that serious at all

*SPOILER* there is one scene where the main character hallucinates a dead person for a brief moment, but it’s pretty clear it’s just a guilty conscience thing and not an actual ghost
