The pin depicts the fictional 'Gus' Bizarre' magazine with a ghostly female figure on the cover, strongly resembling Madame Leota, the psychic medium whose disembodied head appears in a crystal ball to summon spirits within the attraction. The magazine cover is dated "November 2010" and includes humorous, spooky-themed articles such as "Simply Spooky Styles!", "Be Proud of your Shroud: Scarily Easy Fashion Suggestions," and "PHANTOMS at THE OPERA: THE FUNERAL'S NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS!".

With an edition size of 2500, this pin is sought after by collectors for its unique design, its connection to the beloved Haunted Mansion, and its inclusion in a complete series featuring iconic characters and themes from the attraction.
