Haunted Mansion Stretching Room Portrait - Quicksand

This highly sought-after pin features the iconic 'Quicksand' stretching portrait from The Haunted Mansion attraction, which originally opened at Disneyland Resort in 1969. The pin is part of the Haunted Mansion Stretch Portrait Sliders series, a classic set that captures the eerie transformation of the mansion's gallery portraits. Designed as a Slider, the pin allows the collector to move the portrait upward, mimicking the legendary stretching effect guests experience in the attraction's pre-show room. The base of the pin features the classic Haunted Mansion logo set against the attraction's signature purple wallpaper pattern, framed by two tall, flickering candles. Released in August 2003 as a Limited Edition 2000, this piece is a staple for fans of the ride's macabre aesthetic. The character depicted, often referred to as the man in the bowler hat, is one of the four original stretching room subjects created by Disney Legend Marc Davis. Collectors value this pin not only for its clever interactive slider mechanism but also for its status as a quintessential piece of Haunted Mansion memorabilia from the early 2000s. Its design effectively brings a piece of the attraction's dark storytelling home to any collection. As an early Limited Edition release from Disneyland Resort, it remains a favorite among those who curate displays dedicated to the park's most famous dark ride.
