Critical reception
Owen Myers of The Guardian described Living for the Dead in a positive review, "While Living for the Dead has its touching moments, the show knows exactly what it is: sassy, spooky entertainment for Halloween party pre-gaming, best enjoyed with cocktail in hand." In a mainly positive review for Decider, Joel Keller wrote, "The ghost hunting part is sometimes played up for camp and at other times taken very seriously by members of the team. Listen, those parts are going to either be wildly entertaining or come off as complete horseshit, depending on what you believe about the presence of spirits. But the emotions expressed by the team and the bond they’re forging with each other and the people they help is real."
