Roger Corman to receive Master of Horror award

Legendary filmmaker Roger Corman will be honoured with the Master of Horror award at the inaugural Overlook Film Festival.
Director and Post Mortem podcast host Mick Garris will interview Corman onstage at the event, reported Entertainment Weekly.
The Overlook Film Festival will take place from April 24 to April 30 at Timberline Lodge in Mount Hood, Oregon, which doubled for the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining".
Corman's many credits include directing 1964's "The Masque of the Red Death" and producing 1975's "Death Race 2000". He also gave early professional boosts to a slew of other filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Joe Dante, and James Cameron.

The festival will host the world premieres of four films: "Blood Drive", "Capture", "Still/Born", and "Primal Screen".
The festival lineup also includes live performances by writer Clay McLeod Chapman and the "Tales From Beyond the Pale" crew, as well as Dead Right Horror Trivia hosted by Shudder curator Sam Zimmerman and Blumhouse development executive Ryan Turek.
