"Larry Fessenden is exactly the kind of trailblazing and enduring artist we want to celebrate, one whose distinct mark on the industry and on countless filmmakers is undeniable," a representative for the festival stated.
The Leviathan Award, Brooklyn Horror's first and only tribute award, was created in 2023 to honor the luminaries of horror and acknowledge their monstrous contributions to the genre.
Fessenden is credited by the festival for being an 'irreplaceable' voice in filmmaking, establishing Glass Eye Pix, which has sustained indie horror in New York for three decades.
A special screening of Fessenden's 1996 film 'Habit' will also be part of the ceremony, along with a Q&A featuring BHFF alum Jenn Wexler.
