We’d like to think we’re more than just another “haunted house” (and there’s nothing wrong with those! We appreciate and support them as well) We’re trying to bring a bit of I-CON into the haunted trail mix. Every Saturday night is something different! More than just a haunted trail ride- It will be a whole other level spooky fun!!! We’ll be announcing more in the coming days and weeks! So stay tuned!
Terrifying Trails runs every weekend in October. (Additional performances may be added depending on schedules and weather).
Here’s a preliminary design of one of several “Terror Carts”. Present at the I-CON annual BBQ . July 12th.
Debuting at New York’s Belmont Lake State Park, I-CON is proud to present “Terrifying Trails“, every Friday, Saturday & Sundaynight this October (weather permitting, of course)!
Not your typical haunted trail
This is a haunted trail with a twist… we’re adding some I-CON flavor! Every weekend we’ll have something different, in addition to the haunted trail ride, we plan to have Scary Screenings showcasing some of our favorite horror/sci-fi and fantasy movies! Live performances! Costume contests & more spooky surprises in store (we don’t want to give TOO much away just yet!).
I-CON movie night! We’re keeping the Halloween vibe going one more day on Saturday November 1st with an I-CON Double Feature event! Say goodbye to the spooky season with 1968’s “Night Of The Living Dead” followed by the original 1960 version of “Little Shop Of Horrors”! There will be food, and of course popcorn, as well as beverages (non-alcoholic).
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! I-CON wants you to bring along your sense of humor- Rocky Horror style! This is an AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION EVENT! We’re gonna go full MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 at the screen! (but keepin’ it PG). It promises to be a fun night of laughs, screams and everything in between!

With Long Island’s famous Memorial Day air show going on at Jones Beach this weekend, we thought it would be a perfect chance to get to know one of our event sponsors- Wildplay Jones Beach. Featuring a 700 ft. long zipline along the Jones Beach Boardwalk, with breathtaking 360 degree views of Jones Beach, and the Jones Beach theater to the NYC skyline, Wildplay has rope courses for every age and ability level. Once you are secure in your safety harness, make your way from platform to platform by walking across tightropes, climbing up cargo nets, sliding down ziplines, flying through the air on rope swings, leaping onto swinging logs, balancing on wobbly bridges and jumping from 40 ft. heights. There’s even a kid’s course- ideal for kids between the ages of 5 and 12. Build your confidence, challenge your comfort zone, get active and enjoy the fresh air and summer fun at the beach. Bring your friends or family and make a day of it at Wild Play Jones Beach. https://www.wildplay.com/jones-beach

I-CON has been dormant for a while, and thanks to a certain world-wide pandemic, we had to wait a little bit more than we would have liked. But even during those times we were talking, taking notes and watching. We’ve seen the landscape for conventions has changed these days. We applaud many of the other conventions that have since emerged. Fandom should be supportive of each other. Now we’re back; but small steps at first, and those steps might be in a slightly different direction.
The legacy I-CON conventions of SUNY Stony Brook had been going strong with over 30 events across as many years, if not more. Kids grew up going to our conventions, some even met their future spouses there, and then they would bring their children to I-CON. How many of you have a story you still tell that happened “that time” during an I-CON? Do you remember your first I-CON? Those were fun conventions and hard work went in to make them happen. We loved those times… and it’s a legacy we’ll honor.
It’s 2023, and we are re-launching, but we’re not going to try to reclaim those “glory days”. Realistically, we feel a lot has changed and as such, things have a way of moving on. Those changes have given us an opportunity to pivot and reimagine, reinvent, and to explore trying something different. We might get back to some of the familiar aspects, but for right now, we’ve other things in mind that could be kind of fun to try, and hopefully it will be fun for you all as well.
Chances are, you’ve probably been to at least one I-CON. This time around, we’d like to bring some I-CON to YOU!
Instead of ONE 3-day convention, we’ll bring a little bit of I-CON around the island on several different date throughout the year. Bigger events, or small more intimate gatherings. Maybe it’s a science-themed event, or anime related? We host a picnic in the summer! Or a pop-up gaming event in the fall, maybe a movie night at a local theater or a… well, we don’t want to spoil anything, but you get the idea. It also gives us an opportunity to help support some of the local businesses that supported us and who have had to struggle during the pandemic, like the local game shops, or book stores and comic shops across the island. By partnering up with them for an event, maybe we can help shine a light on them; support local business, local authors and artists, local theater, and other local groups. After all, the I in I-CON stands for Island.
That’s kind of where we are headed. And as we mentioned.. small steps at first. This is a rebirth for us, and in a way uncharted territory, but with exciting opportunities! We are open to any ideas and suggestions! We’ll listen and if it has potential we’ll see if we can put something together. We couldn’t do I-CON with out the support of our friends and fans, and we still can’t. We hope you’ll join us!
As part of of our rebranding, we’ve refreshed our logo, from our dragon logo (now associated with the legacy conventions) opting to embrace our rebirth and rebuilding with that of a phoenix. Driving this next generation of I-CON is a talented team of passionate professionals, who care deeply about our convention’s past and future– affectionally known as “Team Phoenix”. You can read about some of them now and we’ll have more for you in the coming week and months. Stay tuned! And Thanks for supporting us!
