Boogey, bridge from below

I do apologize if this has been answered before and the length o f the question, but in order for me to collect it all I must paint a picture. I was playing my friend the other day with a dredge deck and this situation had occurred, twice to boot. I had in my graveyard 2 bridge from below, 1 ichorid, 1 dread return, and an assortment of other cards; in play I had 3 creatures. I was attempting to sacrifice my 3 creatures for the ichorid and my lovely little tokens. In response though, my friend had then sacrificed his Tormod's Crypt. Now this is the part that gets me though, seeing how that the mana cost or flashback cost of the Dread return is the creatures and I already had the 2 bridge from below in my graveyard. Would I get either/all/or none of the tokens or the ichorid? Because from what was being said, since sacrificing is a step on its own and can be responded to I would none of the above and be sol of the 3 creatures also. So my question is a bit hard to directly ask...either that or I make it all extremely too complicated and need to drink a beer. In any effort, I am just trying to get a better understand of the triggered abilities, single actions, and priority, so that I won't have to have a nice uncomfortable drive home. Thank you.

You lose all your stuff. Dread Return's ability is on the stack after the cost is paid, then the crypt removes your grave, then you cry

Dread Return doesn't have an ability that goes on the stack. Dread Return (as a spell) goes on the stack.

In response to the spell (before you can get any tokens or Dread Return returns a creature from the graveyard) he can use Tormod's Crypt and everything in your graveyard is removed from the game.

You don't get any tokens (since Bridge from Below only makes tokens if it's in the graveyard), nor is the target of Dread Return put into play.

he cannot respond to you saccing the creatures as it is part of the cost fo the spell...you will get your tokens but then ichorid and all your yard will be removed
