[5.0] "A special Halloween episode that aired only two days after Halloween. The party segments and the Piper montage served their purpose, as it was a Halloween episode. The matches all around were decent and okay, nothing too extraordinary."

[3.0] "Fast, mediocre matches, but above all ridiculous out-of-round angles. Previous SNMEs had set the tone, but it was still a bit of fun and more useful for storylines. Whereas the food games are annoying and pointless. In-ring quality: 2/5. Angles and segments outside matches: 0.25/3. Bonus/Malus: Ridiculous angles -0.75. Total: 3.5/10. Show seen on WWE Network."

[4.0] "This was a Halloween episode of SNME and the Halloween vignettes that made up the majority of outside-the-ring content were a mixed bag; a lot of it just kind of felt like it was going on forever, but there was some entertainment to be had with Piper's insanity on full display, and this was the origin of the Iron Sheik-dressed-as-Batman meme. In terms of in-ring action, Terry Funk and JYD had a decent little TV match, and though even shorter and going to a double countout, Santana vs Savage for the IC Title was good while it lasted. There's also a battle of giants as Hogan and Andre team up against Studd and Bundy, which is a spectacle if nothing else, and Steamboat manages to get something out of Fuji in a match that's played up as a martial arts showcase of sorts. There's nothing must-see here, but it's a watchable episode if nothing else."

[4.0] "The last Saturday Night's Main Event of 1985 and these shows have not really started with a bang. This is arguably the most consistently fine show in terms of matches so far but by God do the angles suck. May favourite part of this show was Tito Santana vs Randy Savage for the IC Title; this is a little before Savage had beat Santana for the title. I did not enjoy the Pipers Pit on this show with the Hillbillies; but also the only Hillbilly I like is Jim. This show is a little noteworthy for having Jesse Ventura's first match in forever. The Halloween stuff is awful on this show, and gave a horrendous eating contest. These shows always sucked early on with the themes."

[4.0] "So this shows theam is halloween and so we have skits of the workers in costumes the best of witch was liz as jane ofc. Also this skits are the best thing about this show and i love all of them excpet for the pie eating one On tho the matches (sadly). Funk dose his best to get a good match out of the jyd buping like a boss and it almost works also this match sets up funk to have maches with pepole who matter (4/10). After this match and the flowing skit we get another pipers pit woth the hilbilys seting up a 6 man with the aginst piper orton and the body. what a waste of 3 good talents. So its hogan and andre aginst bundy and stud and the match is as boring as it sounds. Pleas let this fude end (3/10). Savge vs tito (or chiko as the body calls him) in a match that is good but wich ends verry fast with a none finish (5/10). Steamer vs fuji this match was ood as it was bilt as a kong fu match but honstly it was not that bad (4/10) Over all this was a show saved by the skits and piper (agin) So i shall give it a low 4 even tho its closer to like a 3.5 The mvp was funk for making jyd work a match that did not make me wana stop watching what a hero he is"

I honestly thought the Halloween theme was harmless good fun, and I got a good laugh out of it as well, particularly the Piper's one. The stuff in the ring was slightly better than the first two episodes, highlighted by a short but solid Savage/Tito bout, a fun Funk showcase and an energetic Hogan Andre tag match. Nice little show."

[7.0] "Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog - 7/10 Andre the Giant/Hulk Hogan vs. Big John Studd/King Kong Bundy - 8/10, I liked the Bundy/Studd feuds with Hogan. Tito Santana vs. Randy Savage - 7/10 Ricky Steamboat vs. Mr. Fuji - 7/10 I enjoy this for the same reasons I enjoyed Saturday Night's Main Event II although I think this event has higher quality matches as whole. The tag team match with Andre, Hogan, Studd and Bundy is epic. Savage, Steamboat, Funk and Piper round out the event and always provide entertainment. There weren't any bad matches but there weren't any great ones either."

[6.0] "Though without any matches reaching three stars this evening's entertainment flowed quite smoothly thanks to an impressive bevy of talent and a variety of off-ring vignettes building off the singular theme of Halloween. MVP again goes to Piper as his verve and multi-talents make him as adept at absurd comedy as he is at cruel intimidations. I'm sure the physical 'confrontation' during Piper/Elizabeth's failed pumpkin toss was a rib at Randy. In addition, that camera really oogled at the vibrant, if a bit too skinny, beauty."

[5.0] "This Halloween special is funny, with a couple of decent in-ring matches. Savage was still a heel in his match with Tito Santana, and André & Hogan were a strong team. The Kung Fu Challenge is just a Wrestling match with only hits and no moves. The gimmick skits aren't funny, maybe at that time they were."

[5.0] "This show really found it's footing much better than it's predecessors. The first two matches were alright, not good or bad. I did think that the IC match was decent. Despite myself, I did enjoy the Piper skit. The last match was pretty good, especially with the kung fu type kick off the turnbuckle to finish the match."
