Horror
When Dracula and Mavis are mad, they show terrifying fangs and red eyes. They sometimes scream. This could frighten younger viewers.
There are different types of monsters: zombies, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, witches, and other creatures. Some have scary features such as one large eye, sharp fangs and long arms.
A character stalks a rat and grabs it with their mouth.
Violence
Characters often fight each other. We see kicking, punching, slapping, and biting. In a few scenes, characters throw or smash objects, sometimes at other characters. In one scene, characters fight a swarm of dangerous terrifying bat people.
Dangerous imitable behaviour
Characters climb up a tower. Dracula throws a character off the very top of the tower, but he rushes in at the last second to save them. The tower then collapses and explodes.
