Sweded to Death is a DIY horror film festival where participants remake iconic horror movies using minimal budgets and homemade props. The festival emphasizes creativity and often features a competitive element among teams. It has been presented in various locations, including Fort Collins, CO, and is part of the larger "Sweded Film Festival for Creative Re-Creations" which also takes place in Pittsburgh, PA. These "sweded" films are typically short, ranging from three to five minutes, and are inspired by the concept popularized in Michel Gondry's 2008 film "Be Kind Rewind."
