Release
Things We Dig premiered at Screamfest Horror Film Festival on October 14, 2020. The festival later distributed the film on YouTube. The film screened at Horror Haus in 2020, Ax Wound Film Festival in 2021 and San Diego International Film Festival in 2022.

Reception
Emilie Black at Cinema Crazed said how the good casting helps create magic with only a few minutes of screen time. Ben Ragunton at TG Geeks said the production value was rich and is worth watching with a glass of wine. Berlyn Nikolunauer at Morbidly Beautiful said the film was "a playful kind of silly." They all compared the film to What We Do in the Shadows.
