CNET Editors' review
This spooky screensaver scores big points in a number of areas. True to its name, the program transports you to a shady, tree-lined cemetery, where you'll find ghostly but still human apparitions haunting the crypts in which they are buried.The classical-music soundtrack imparts the right degree of Gothic ambience, but you can add your own MP3s if you know of a scarier tune. If you want to add more action to the scene, 3D Ghosts in the Graveyard lets you add any number of skeletons, bones, candles, and bats, which will float across your screen at random intervals. You also can adjust the scene's brightness and tint, which allows you to view the otherworldly spectacle in broad daylight or under cover of darkness.
Graphically, the screensaver is impressive; the graveyard scenery looks quite realistic, and the animations are nicely rendered. Although this program is most appropriate for use around Halloween, horror-movie buffs also will find it an excellent year-round decoration.

"Cute screen saver, not good for a slow system"
Version: 3D Ghosts in the Graveyard 5.2
Pros
Works great on my new laptop, funny animation, nice for halloween season.
Cons
Not meant for slower systems, won't animate at full speed, kind of loud and distracting if you don't mute your speakers.
Summary
A fun, seasonal screen saver that works fine on newer fast systems. Has background sounds, so shut off your speakers if you want a quiet screen saver. Otherwise, it's fun.
