Ghost Bride (Constance Hatchaway) - The Haunted Mansion Glows in the Dark Mystery Collection

This captivating Disney pin showcases Constance Hatchaway, famously known as the Ghost Bride or "The Black Widow Bride," set against the eerie backdrop of The Haunted Mansion. Part of The Haunted Mansion Glows in the Dark Mystery Collection, this particular pin was released in 2020 as a Limited Release. Constance Hatchaway is a pivotal character in The Haunted Mansion attraction, renowned for her chilling backstory of marrying wealthy men and then brutally murdering them, often with an axe, to inherit their fortunes. She is seen in the attraction's attic scene, where her collection of husbands' portraits, each with an added string of pearls, tells her sinister tale. The character of Constance Hatchaway was introduced to the attraction in 2006, replacing an earlier, less detailed bride to give the story a darker, more defined narrative. The pin itself features a glow-in-the-dark element, a highly sought-after detail that enhances its spooky appeal, especially for fans of the iconic dark ride. The Haunted Mansion, which first opened its doors at Disneyland on August 9, 1969, is one of Disney's most beloved and enduring attractions, making pins featuring its characters consistently popular among collectors. This Limited Release pin is a desirable piece due to its iconic subject, the popular glow-in-the-dark feature, and its connection to the rich lore of the Haunted Mansion.
