Mathieu Coderre, a seasoned stunt performer from Quebec, is set to appear at the upcoming Comiccon de Québec. This marks his seventh participation in the popular culture gathering, which attracts fans eager to meet him.
Meeting Ghostface at Comiccon
Fans are particularly excited to meet Coderre because of his role as Ghostface in the latest installment of the Scream franchise, Frissons 6. Many attendees express their awe at encountering the person behind this iconic character. For devoted followers of the series, this interaction offers a unique perspective on Ghostface.
Stunt Performance Background
Coderre’s journey into stunt performance was paved by his background in martial arts. He is a medalist in karate from both the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, which opened doors for him in the film industry. His notable work includes stunts in productions such as Bon cop, bad cop, and Hollywood projects like Midway and Chaos Walking.
The Risks of Stunt Work
Being a stunt performer comes with significant risks. Coderre recalls a tragic incident where his colleague, Flavie Groleau, was left paralyzed due to an accident.

Nonetheless, he admits that he has pushed his own limits in pursuit of a more thrilling performance. In one instance, he narrowly avoided a car speeding toward him by cutting it too close for comfort.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Stunt Work
The conversation also turns to the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the film industry. Coderre acknowledges the validity of concerns among stunt performers about job security. He suggests that while AI could serve as a valuable tool in certain scenarios, it should not replace the artistic execution of stunts. In his view, using AI could enhance safety without diminishing the human element of performance.
