* This trope is parodied in the otherwise straight ghost movie ''[[The Haunting]]''. The housekeeper, Mrs. Dudley, has already given Nell a speech implying all sorts of nastiness about the house, and when she does an encore for latecomer Theo, Nell "[[Large Ham|helpfully]]" finishes parts of her monologue for her:
{{quote| '''Mrs. Dudley''': I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at six. Breakfast is ready at nine. I don't stay after dinner. Not after it begins to get dark. We live in town, nine miles, so there won't be anyone around if you need help...<br />
'''Nell''': We couldn't even hear you.<br />
'''Mrs. Dudley''': No one could. No one lives any nearer than town...<br />
'''Nell''': No one will come any nearer than that.<br />
'''Mrs. Dudley''': In the night...<br />
'''Nell''': In the dark. }}
* Frau Blucher''(horses whinny)'' from ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'': Every time someone says her name, horses neigh and there is lightning.

* Consuela for ''[[Family Guy]]''. Although she is (rarely) found working in a mansion, she is pretty creepy. If you don't think she belongs here, you're going to have to get her to leave yourself.
