Activities at EerieCon typically include panels by the Guests of Honor, a dealers room, masquerade, poetry round robin, gaming room, con suite, people and thing auction, reading room, autographs, and art show. The convention also includes a video room with a special "anime feature" presentation on Sunday showing popular anime shows of the past year. The convention's most notable event is the "What Line's Mine" panel where a number of guests listen to quotes and try to determine if they, or a different guest, wrote that line. Another recently popular event is Friday NightKaraoke.
History
The convention started out at the Fallside Resort, in Niagara Falls, New York. Eeriecon 2 and 3 were hosted at Days Inn Riverview. Due to some difficulties the convention had to move one last time, settling into the Days Inn at the Falls starting with at Eeriecon 4 in 2002. In 2013, Eeriecon 15 changed locations to the Holiday InnGrand Island on Grand Island, New York. The Holiday Inn on Grand Island changed its name and is now known as Byblos Niagara.
