Reviews:
“Mixing horror, slasher, marijuana, and non-stop comedy, Halloweed is a hilariously good time. The plot was really good and something fresh to the scene […] As funny as this film is, which probably justifies it being so ridiculously cheesy, I can’t just simply allow the cheesiness to go unnoticed and not being held accountable.” Decay Mag

Halloweed is a pleasant enough diversion, hardly essential yet innocuous and amusing. As I said, I liked it about as much as I liked Stan Helsing. That should probably tell you all you need to know about it.” HK and Cult Film News
