* ''Series/TheAvengers'' - a Charles Dickens enthusiast has his manor house themed to the author's works, down to a recreation of Mrs. Havisham's dusty, cobwebbed wedding feast room.

-->--'''Dumbledore''', ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince''

* 12 Grimmauld Place, in ''HarryPotter'' qualifies.

[[quoteright:330:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/girl_in_dusty_manor.jpg]]

* Not RogerCorman, but VincentPrice: ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill''.

* ''{{ADOM}}'': The Dusty Dungeon Level (DDL) and the level below it, Very Dusty Dungeon Level (VDDL). They are pretty much TakeOurWordForIt though, as the graphics are too simple to actually show the setting.

* ''{{Beetlejuice}}'' - standard decor for a haunted house, but Barbara, still getting used to being a ghost, is frustrated that she can't clean the place with the vacuum being inaccessible. When Adam suggests their being alone in the house may be Heaven, she mutters "Heaven wouldn't have all this dust!"

* ''Film/HowlsMovingCastle''. Poor old Sophie has to clean up the whole thing.

* Miss Havisham's abandoned wedding feast in ''GreatExpectations''.

* ''TheAvengers'' - a Charles Dickens enthusiast has his manor house themed to the author's works, down to a recreation of Mrs. Havisham's dusty, cobwebbed wedding feast room.

* 13 Grimmauld Place, in ''HarryPotter'' qualifies.

* Not RogerCorman, but VincentPrice: ''HouseOnHauntedHill''.
* {{Dagon}} has a staffed hotel that is at the same time coated in dust and cobwebs.

* The mansion of TheAddamsFamily.

-->''Certainly he didn't expect to come home and find a clear inch of dust.''

* Pipit's house in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' is so dusty that Pipit's mother actually pays Link to clean it with his Gust Bellows, a futuristic device resembling a leaf-blower.

Compare CobwebJungle, TrashOfTheTitans.

* 13 Grimmauld Place, in ''HarryPotter'' qualifies.

* HowlsMovingCastle. Poor old Sophie has to clean up the whole thing.

* The mansion of ''LuigisMansion'', while not as smothering with dust as most examples, had enough that Luigi kicked up a trail of it wherever he went in the mansion and most vacuumed objects were give a puff of dust before releasing any items within. Played a touch straighter in one basement room with large dust piles that had to be vacuumed up to proceed.

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Picture comes from the first act of the RogerCorman anthology film ''Tales Of Terror'', where a girl visits the home of her father, who let most of the place get this way after his wife died.
** This trope shows up a lot in the RogerCorman Poe pictures; in the comedy adaptation of ''The Raven'' PeterLorre improvised the quip "Tough place to keep clean, huh?" as he and VincentPrice walk through an extensive and overly-cobwebbed room.
* Not RogerCorman, but VincentPrice: ''HouseOnHauntedHill''.

* A variation in ''[=~Kiki's Delivery Service~=]'' is when Kiki rents an apartment from a baker. She finds the entire apartment extremely dusty, however, after further inspection, the apartment is caked (no pun intended) in ''flour'' rather than dust.
* {{Dagon}} has a staffed hotel that is at the same time coated in dust and cobwebs.

** Don't worry, there's a new one in a splatbook somewhere. Probably that Stronghold book again.

* The mansion of ''[=~Luigi's Mansion~=]'', while not as smothering with dust as most examples, had enough that Luigi kicked up a trail of it wherever he went in the mansion and most vacuumed objects were give a puff of dust before releasing any items within. Played a touch straighter in one basement room with large dust piles that had to be vacuumed up to proceed.

* ''{{ADOM}}'': The Dusty Dungeon Level (DDL) and the level below it, Very Dusty Dungeon Level (VDDL). They are pretty much InformedAttribute however, as the description doesn't affect gameplay.

It's a place so dusty, the cobwebs are basically measured in depth. If there aren't cobwebs, everything has a layer of gray from all the dust anyway. Heck, the only think keeping dust from getting kicked up everywhere someone walks around is [[RuleOfPerception that it would be difficult to film]] (and be very uncomfortable for the cast and crew).
