Boston Celtics star Terry Rozier, who goes by the nickname, “Scary Terry,” has been hawking shirts and sweatshirts featuring his slogan combined with the infamous Ghostface mask from the 1996 thriller, Scream. The Blast is reporting that
Fun World costume company claims they are the original designer of the “Ghost Face Mask,” and officially licensed it for use in the slasher film and other movies, explains The Blast. Fun World says, as a result of the Scream flicks, the “Ghost Face Mask has become widely famous and remains a popular Halloween costume mask.”
According to the site, the company says the Boston Celtics player is using their design and copyright without permission, claiming he has, “adopted the Ghost Face Mask design as his own mascot and paired the design with his alter ego “Scary Terry.”
Fun World accuses Rozier of ripping off their work and making a profit, and are suing for unspecified damages plus $150,000 per infringement.
They also want an injunction prohibiting the NBA star from continuing to sell the ‘Scary Terry’ merchandise.
