* Done for laughs in ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967''. The daughter of Mata Hari is infiltrating her mom's ''Main/NebulousEvilOrganisation'', and is shown her mom's old room by a henchman who states "It's just the way she left it". The room is covered in dust and cobwebs, exactly as it would be after decades of neglect.

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 thing 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).

* This trope shows up a lot in the Creator/RogerCorman Poe pictures; in the comedy adaptation of ''Film/{{The Raven|1963}}'' PeterLorre improvised the quip "Tough place to keep clean, huh?" as he and Creator/VincentPrice walk through an extensive and overly-cobwebbed room.

* ''The Dark Crusader'' by Alistair Maclean starts thus: ''A small dusty man in a small dusty room. That's how I always thought of him, just a small dusty man in a small dusty room.'' The 'dusty man' is the protagonist's [[TheSpymaster boss in British Intelligence]].

* This is the first obvious sign that something's gone weird with the world in the ''UruseiYatsura'' NonSerialMovie: Onsen Mark's house is absolutely covered from floor to ceiling, wall to wall with a layer of dust and mold.

* Not Creator/RogerCorman, but VincentPrice: ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1959''.

* TheMunsters' house. "Dusting" actually means spreading ''more'' dust around.

* The Dwarfs' home in Disney's ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', and all takeoffs from it.

* 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. [[HarsherInHindsight And then you learn where Pipit's patrol money winds up...]]

* A variation in ''KikisDeliveryService'' 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.

* Parts of ''Ride/TheHauntedMansion'' in the DisneyThemeParks. The cast members use a machine similar to a fertilizer spreader to spray fake cobwebs around just to keep it optimally dingy.

* In ''BlackBooks'' the Cleaner highlights this as one of the worst features of the bookshop. While we can't see it, he does the traditional demonstration of wearing a white glove, running it along a surface, and showing how much dust it's collected. The surface in this example was the '' air.''

* ''[[DungeonsAndDragons AD&D]]'' included a spell that made a house look this way, creating an illusion that it had been long abandoned.

* 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.

* Appears all the time in ''{{Dracula}}'', notably in the old wing of castle Dracula and in his purchased mansion.

* ''[[VideoGame/AncientDomainsOfMystery 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.
