Report: lawsuit filed over "Scary Terry" merchandise

Terry Rozier’s play last year earned him a few nicknames, but “Scary Terry” is one that stuck, and one that fueled a lot of online merchandise. Unfortunately for the people responsible for the shirts, they never got permission to use that “Scream” mask… which has led to a lawsuit.

The makers of the infamous “Scream” mask are trying to kill Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier’s use of the copyrighted image, according to a lawsuit.

Rozier, who has coined the nickname “Scary Terry,” has been supplementing his $3.1 million salary by hawking merchandise printed with a cartoon image of himself wearing the mask from the 1996 slasher flick.
