BloodyDisgusting found that "While it’s not Scary Movie, Caesar and Otto’s Paranormal Halloween isn’t meant to be for that audience. Rather, the film takes a far more broad selection of films, both current and classic, and brings them together in this mash-up that has a certain charm all its own. The fun use of the many cameos also reflects the effort by Campfield and company to make a fun film."[4]
A review at HorrorNews stated "Paranormal Halloween is clearly not for everyone. But for those of us looking for an escape from the mundane, monotonous and simply want a few laughs that not at all a bad choice."[5]
The film pays homage to various classic horror films, including The Exorcist,[6] The Amityville Horror, Sinister and Insidious.
