Well, it's October again, so I thought I would spook it up around here a little! I plan to feature spooky games for the rest of the month, but today I have an item that I've owned for over thirty years, but I never thought to post about before. May I present to you: The Haunted Mansion keychain!
Here it is, being modeled by our "hand model," Thing!
This keychain was purchased around 1990 at the cart outside of the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World. As I recall, they had two styles, one in gold and one in silver. It's fairly heavy metal, and feels like a real skeleton key. The "Haunted Mansion" logo is on a small ceramic disc, which is a nice touch, I think. It only appears on this side.
I've never used it as a keychain, and won't. I prefer to think of it as my personal front door key for our favorite haunt!
These are fairly hard to find now (although there is a newer version that is shaped like a bat that is much easier to get). The ones I've seen tend to go for about twenty bucks, which is still a bargain in my book!
So there you have it! Be sure to check back in next week for our first spooky game!
Until next time, keep searching for treasure!
