Meet The Man Behind The Mask In The Horro Movie Thanksgiving

Fans in Shreveport will get a chance to carve out an amazing weekend! Because the incredibly talented Alex Armbruster is joining the guest lineup for Geek'd Con 2026.

Horror fans know Alex best as the terrifying man behind the mask in Eli Roth's massive hit holiday slasher, 'Thanksgiving'. Alex stepped into the lead villain role as the actor physically portraying the brutal masked killer, John Carver. His menacing performance as the holiday slasher has made him an absolute fan-favorite in the horror community!

Top Level Stunt Work In Comic Book Projects

Beyond terrorizing the town of Plymouth...Alex is a world-class stunt performer and extreme sports athlete. He has work on over 140 different Hollywood projects. Including in some major blockbuster films, doing some big time work.

One of those roles was the primary stunt double for the fiery anti-hero El Diablo in the Oscar-winning DC film 'Suicide Squad' (2016) To prepare for the role, Alex had to go through extensive daily makeup, and shaved his head to perform massive, high-risk wire stunts.

His incredible stunt resume also spans across massive television blockbusters and sci-fi hits. You have seen his high-octane stunt work on Amazon's blood-soaked superhero satire 'The Boys', throughout the DC television universe in the Arrowverse (taking hits on 'Arrow' and serving as a stunt double on 'The Flash'), and most recently in Guillermo del Toro's highly acclaimed sci-fi horror epic, 'Frankenstein'

Don't miss your chance to meet Alex, talk turkey, and get a one-of-a-kind photo oppurtunity as he suits up as John Carver for a special photo op that weekend.
