Background
Die’ced (2022)
The original Die’ced was released in 2022 as a micro-budget horror featurette directed by Jeremy Rudd. Set in 1980s Seattle, it followed the story of a scarecrow-masked killer named Benny who escapes from a mental institution on Halloween night. The film received limited coverage in genre-specific horror outlets and was distributed on streaming platforms such as Tubi.[12]
Reviews for the 2022 release were mixed, but horror blogs noted its practical gore effects and low-budget slasher aesthetic. Coverage came from outlets including Dread Central, Movies & Mania, and Jackmeat’s Flix.[13]
Plot (Reloaded)
In the expanded version, the scarecrow-masked serial killer Benny escapes from an asylum on Halloween night and embarks on a violent killing spree in Seattle. His main target is Cassandra, a young woman with a hidden connection to his past. As the night progresses, a group of survivors must try to stop him before more lives are claimed.
Cast
- Eden Campbell as Cassandra

Production
Following the original 2022 release, Epic Pictures Group collaborated with Rudd to create Die’ced: Reloaded. According to Rudd, the process involved adding approximately 30 minutes of new material, re-editing existing scenes, and enhancing the sound design, score, and visuals.[14] He cited influences from slasher films such as Halloween, Child’s Play, and Jeepers Creepers.[15][16]
Release and reception
Epic Pictures released Die’ced: Reloaded in limited theaters across the United States on August 8, 2025.[17][18] It became available for video-on-demand streaming on August 12, 2025,[19][20] and is scheduled for Blu-ray release on October 14, 2025.[10][21]
As of August 2025, there are no confirmed reports of the film screening at any major film festivals.
Early reviews from genre-focused outlets were generally positive.
