Is real dead body allowed in a horror film?

Answer 1

Yes. In the 1982 film Poltergeist, in the scene where the mother falls into the pool and the skeletons attack her, the skeletons used were real, and were buried in the spot of the set. Likewise, in the 1987 Hong Kong film Men Behind the Sun, a genuine child's body was used for an autopsy scene. In the 2006 film Unrest, real bodies were used as cadavers.

Answer 2

Only with the consent of the body's former family
