Troma Entertainment does not distribute the film, making it the first film of the series without Troma's involvement.

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]

gollark: One would hope that something to save probably an hour of effort on refreshing and checking a time wouldn't be, but who knows.
gollark: <@365129049183485953> I do have a Firefox extension for autotiming, but it may or may not be against the rules.
gollark: Maybe it's more like view change rate over the last few minutes?
