Halloween is still a month away, but Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier has already received a treat: He won an infringement litigation over similarities between the “Ghost Face” mask from the 1996 slasher film Scream and the “Scary Terry” clothing line Rozier launched in 2018.
On Monday, Judge Kiyo Matsumoto of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York granted summary judgment to Rozier. Three years ago, the 27-year-old guard was sued by Easter Unlimited, a costume company that manufactures the Ghost Face mask and holds trademark and copyright registrations for it.
