Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre made its world premiere on August 15, 2009 at the Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, Kentucky, where it received a nomination for Best Horror Comedy.

Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre was the debut feature of Trai Byers who rose to fame in 2015 with the success of Fox's Empire.

Corey Danna of Horror News Network called Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre "a silly little movie" that is "made to entertain and it hits the spot".

[2] Brandon Long of Pop Horror said "if Abbott and Costello were alive today, this would be their crossover with the 1983 cult classic, Sleepaway Camp".

[3] According to Scott A. Johnson of Dread Central "Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre has some genuinely funny moments coupled with some real groaner style humor that makes it great to watch if there's plenty of alcohol".
