Sounds worse than "de mal gusto". I.e., it is 'bloody' it may imply death.
But it may also be one that is not actually real. I.e., somebody may have "blood" or "tomato sauce" and feign an injury... but it is all a practical joke.

Again, context is key to the exact meaning.

broma sangrienta significa eso, una broma en la que hay sangre. A veces se dice broma macabra.
Normalmente se refiere a un suceso que sería gracioso de no ser por la presencia de sangre, heridos ó muertos.
ej
"Las muñecas estaban tomando el té en su casita, pero como ninguna tenía brazos se convertía en una broma sangrienta"
"El anfitrión sirvió pollo. Este, cual broma sangrienta, se servia sin desplumar y sin cabeza"
saludos

O simplemente algo que se suponía ser una broma, terminó en un hecho sangriento.
