Reception

The AV Club found that of the first thirteen films in the series, Witchcraft X was possibly the worst.[1] Incredibly Bad Film Show stated the attempt to escape from the usual story of good versus evil warlock was a plus, and found the inclusion of vampires to be a step in the right direction, but ultimately the film is brought down by poor acting and a small budget.[2]

Production

Stephanie Beaton stated in an interview that this was her favorite of the films she had appeared in.[3] The film was filmed in England.[4]
