Reception



Dave Wain, writing for British horror magazine 'Scream', gave 'Grave Halloween' 1.5 stars out of five, calling the film "a real let-down". Guy Adams, reviewing the film for the British Fantasy Society, said the film was "nothing special but, in an increasingly dense forest of grotty cinematic deadwood, there is enough life in it to be worth your time".
