Also on the agenda will be a tribute to comic book legend Stan Lee by Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and horror icon director George Romero will be presented with this year’s Scream Mastermind Award, an award given to a filmmaker whose unique vision of horror, science fiction and/or fantasy is both critically-acclaimed and culturally significant.
