# 2011 Scream Awards

Billed as 2011 Scream Awards, the 2011 ceremony of the Scream Awards, run by Spike TV, was the sixth and final iteration of these awards, which was run annually in prior years. The awards ceremony was held on 15 October 2011 on the Universal Studios lot in Hollywood (California, Los Angeles) and was broadcast by Spike TV on the following Tuesday (18 October 2011). The discontinuance of these awards was attributed to their dwindling popularity and Spike TV's re-formatting (including even a change of their name to Paramount).
The shows original creators, Casey Patterson, Michael Levitt and Cindy Levitt, served as executive producers for the event. Casey Patterson said that it was "a show for the most passionate fans on earth and beyond" and that "This is their night to celebrate the magical, mind-bending and super heroic year in movies and the TV shows that they love."

## World Premieres

The following pieces of footage from several upcoming movie projects was shown:
