Better Tombs & Gardens - Haunted Mansion Magazines

The "Better Tombs & Gardens" pin is a clever and highly sought-after collectible from the "Haunted Mansion Magazines" series, which features 12 pins, each designed as a parody magazine cover for a different month of the year. This particular pin, representing July 2010, is a humorous take on the popular "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine, appropriately retitled "Better Tombs & Gardens." The pin prominently features the iconic Groundskeeper, sometimes referred to as the Caretaker or Silas Crump, and his perpetually terrified dog, both familiar figures from the Graveyard scene in Disney's beloved Haunted Mansion attraction. The magazine cover includes amusing article titles such as "Marble-ous Headstones to Die For!", "Digging Up a Perfect Groundskeeper!", and "Nervous Hound? Training Tips for Your Petrified Pooch!". These characters are notable for being among the few living inhabitants encountered within the predominantly ghostly attraction. Released on July 1, 2010, at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, this pin is a Limited Edition of 2500, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Haunted Mansion memorabilia and parody pins.
