This isn’t the first time that the Haunted Mansion has collaborated with Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. The first Hatbox Ghost Mug was released in 2014, and since then, these mugs have become a must-have item for collectors and enthusiasts.

Now, fans of the Hatbox Ghost can rejoice as the mug returns for its 3rd edition release. This mug, which is the third edition, features a detailed design of the Hatbox Ghost himself carved in a tiki style. The mug is a “ghostly green color” with a black glaze.
