There's a lot to work with here, but it's got a lot of material that makes me uncomfortable (and not in the way a horror game might hope). The revamped edition is not better. I'd recommend going back to the original Ravenloft box set, and turning to the CoS subreddit for a lot of wonderful sources to make this runnable without cringing at problematic portrayals of the Romani people among others.
