Eric Newlon was a police detective and the main antagonist in Thanksgiving. He was the first John Carver killer and the mastermind of the 2023 Thanksgiving Murders. He was the soon-to-be father of an unborn child with Amanda Collins, and sought justice against Jessica Wright and her friends for starting the RightMart riot and subsequent massacre. He accidentally unmasked himself and was supposedly killed by Jess after she put her mother's bracelet in a gun and caused an explosion that engulfed him in flames.
Eric was portrayed by Patrick Dempsey.
