Tie Die

When a string of gruesomely mutilated bodies surface in a once-peaceful national park, veteran Ranger Jones (Lloyd Kaufman, legendary founder of Troma and creator of THE TOXIC AVENGER) teams up with a no-nonsense state trooper (cult film icon Joe Bob Briggs of Shudder’s The Last Drive-In) to track down the source of the carnage. It’s been decades since the park saw a rabid bear—but this? This is something far more savage.

With the woods now teeming with free-spirited musicians, tripping hippies, and cosmic wanderers, the countdown to chaos is ticking. As the bloodbath crescendos, can the unlikely duo stop the slaughter before the final curtain call? Or will Ranger Jones miss the encore?

Loaded with face-melting practical effects and psychedelic visuals straight from an oscilloscope fever dream, TIE DIE is a sensory acid trip of terror that will leave you gasping… if you’re lucky.

Director Statement

The idea for Tie Die began as a child, when my father told me, "Son, if you ever kill someone, make sure you're wearing a tie dye shirt, so the blood blends in."
