Constance - Friday the 13th Day of Celebration

This captivating Limited Edition (LE) pin, released in 2009 at Walt Disney World, features Constance Hatchaway, famously known as the Black Widow Bride from The Haunted Mansion attraction. Part of the "Friday the 13th Day of Celebration" series, this pin showcases Constance in her elegant white wedding gown with puffed sleeves and a flowing veil. Her blonde hair frames a striking, somewhat sinister expression, while her dark red lips add to her ominous charm. In one hand, she holds a delicate bouquet of pink flowers, a stark contrast to the axe she menacingly clutches behind her back, a direct nod to her infamous backstory of marrying wealthy men and then dispatching them with a hatchet for their inheritance. The pin's dark purple, spiderweb-patterned background perfectly encapsulates her "Black Widow Bride" moniker and the eerie atmosphere of her attic domain within the mansion. Constance Hatchaway was a revamped character introduced to The Haunted Mansion in 2006 at Disneyland Resort and 2007 at Walt Disney World, with the attic scene specifically redesigned to tell her murderous tale. With an edition size of only 2000, this pin is highly sought after by collectors due to the enduring popularity of The Haunted Mansion, the iconic and villainous nature of Constance, and its specific tie to a themed event. The Haunted Mansion attraction itself first opened at Disneyland in 1969 and at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in 1971, making pins featuring its characters consistently popular among Disney enthusiasts.
