While it pales in comparison to such horror anthology predecessors as Tales from the Crypt, Asylum and Creepshow, Tales of Halloween offers enough minor diversions to make it enjoyable late-night viewing.

"Tales of Halloween" is full of great fodder for urban legends, and that's about as sophisticated as most of the film's 10 scary vignettes - all set in a suburb on Halloween night - get.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten
A collection of 10 macabre miniatures that are disposably diverting at best and execrable at worst, despite the participation of some familiar genre faces and directors.
Dennis Harvey, Variety

Consistently entertaining - enough to make it a favorite among genre fans.
Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times

Lined by an amicable sense of dark humor and a sporadically amusing bloodlust, this hit-or-miss compilation could bring Halloween cheer to genre fans ...
