The Aging Man - Happy Halloween from the Haunted Mansion

This captivating Limited Edition (LE 2000) pin from Walt Disney World, released in 2008, features the iconic "Aging Man" from the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction. The pin depicts the character, often semi-officially referred to as Master Gracey, in his youthful, debonair form, with his hand thoughtfully posed at his chin, set against a backdrop reminiscent of the Haunted Mansion's eerie architecture. The vibrant orange lettering prominently declares "Happy Halloween from The Haunted Mansion," complete with a subtle spiderweb detail, celebrating the spooky season. The "Aging Man" is a key figure in the attraction's lore, known for his portrait that dramatically transforms from a handsome gentleman into a decaying skeleton as guests enter the stretching room at Disneyland or the foyer at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland. The character "Master Gracey" is a respectful homage to Disney Imagineer Yale Gracey, whose innovative special effects were crucial to bringing the Haunted Mansion to life. This pin is part of the larger "Happy Halloween from The Haunted Mansion" series, which typically features various ghostly residents and elements from the attraction, making it a highly sought-after collectible for fans of the classic ride and Halloween-themed Disneyana.
