Ever found yourself at a huge mansion in the middle of a torrential rainstorm? Chances are the door was opened to you by a Creepy Housekeeper. This character spends much of her time walking around a large manor house cleaning, cooking, being fanatically devoted to her master, and scaring off any new female inhabitants of the house. Although she often welcomes hapless visitors, chances are they will be either murdered or scared off by the end of a terrifying night. She will be common in murder mysteries/tales of the supernatural, although often subverted for comedy. Her male counterpart is the Crusty Caretaker. They'll often tag-team any newcomers into being properly creeped out before the hauntings start. Sometimes takes on double shifts as a Haunted House Historian to ratchet up the creepy. Contrast the sexier French Maid, as well as the more maternal and less unsettling Kindly Housekeeper. |

The Climax features a rare heroic example. Luise used to be Marcellina's maid and is now Dr. Hohner's housekeeper. She slinks around the house looking like Mrs. Danvers and spying on Dr. Hohner. However, she turns out to be on the side of the angels and is looking for proof that Hohner murdered her mistress. She helps Franz free Angela from Hohner's clutches and later saves Angela when Hohner attempts to cut her tongue out. | |

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 "helpfully" finishes parts of her monologue for her: | |

Martha from Rule of Rose gives a distinctly creepy, unfriendly first impression, and the orphans in the Rose Garden Orphanage believe she's a witch. Subverted as it is revealed in the epilogue that she was the only definitely sane and well-meaning person in the house despite her unpleasant demeanour, and her attempts to contact the police about the strange happenings were implied to have gotten her killed. | |

Sam and Dean Winchester in Supernatural run afoul of one in the episode "Hammer of the Gods". Said housekeeper is first shown killing a man, and then confirms his credentials with inexplicably disappearing, preparing other people for food, and cutting Sam to collect a blood sample without ever being seen. It is eventually revealed that he's the Roman god, Mercury. He's also hardly the worst thing in that hotel. | |

Point Horror had Mrs Ferdinand in Unleashed's The Bogle. A grouchy and strict old woman with a Scare 'Em Straight philosophy. She creeps out Peter and Morag so much they suspect she murdered her previous employer. On investigation they find his body in one of the many nooks and crannies in the house. Mrs Ferdinand's reaction to this discovery is to burst into tears and even thank them for solving the mystery. When the Bogle enters the picture she begins to soften, taking pity on the afflicted Johnny and later on Morag when she falls victim. On seeing both of them suffer she realises her philosophy has done more harm than good and morphs into a Kindly Housekeeper, even supporting the local witch in getting rid of the Bogle despite her strong Christian beliefs. | |

The Devil Commands: Once she understands both what Blair is trying to do and that he might actually be capable of succeeding, Phony Psychic Mrs. Walters begins looking ahead to the wealth and power that such success could bestow upon anyone wily enough and ruthless enough to exploit it properly. Blair, in contrast, remains monomaniacally fixated upon talking to his wife, and the combination of that blinkered vision and the doctor’s native guilelessness gives Walters an opening to become the senior partner in their project. She’s the one who finds the remote New England mansion to which the pair retreat to carry on their work in isolation and secrecy. She’s the one who manages all the household affairs, engaging the scrupulously incurious Mrs. Marcy as housekeeper, interposing herself between Blair and any of the locals who might wish to see him, and intercepting all the mail either leaving or entering the house so as to prevent any communication between the doctor and his former associates— including and especially is daughter Anne. | |

On Orange Is the New Black, Miss Claudette has this reputation among the other inmates; they only know her as a Neat Freak who seems suspicious of everyone and everything, and she is reputed to have murdered someone. She did kill someone, but not for the reason her fellow inmates seem to think. She ran an illegal maid-service (illegal because the girls were, just like she once was, underage and undocumented Haitian immigrants), and she found out that one of her clients had sexually abused a 14-year-old girl that she had sent to him. So she killed him in retaliation. | |

In Northanger Abbey, while they are on their way to the titular location, Henry teases Catherine by telling her (among other things) that they employ a Creepy Housekeeper named Dorothy. This is one of the stock Gothic tropes that he (and, by extension, Jane Austen herself) is parodying with his outlandish narrative about what Catherine will find at Northanger. | |

Marge Longacre in the episode "Scarecrow" of Friday the 13th: The Series. The episode wastes no time in revealing either her villainy or creepy insanity, with much of the suspense stemming from when the heroes Micki and Ryan will finally figure out what all her big-eyed looks, strange turns of phrase, and husky, low voice mean. (The fact her first meeting with them had her turn on a dime from the usual rural suspicion and resentment of city outsiders to welcoming them to stay at her inn should have been a clue.) Still, her switch from calmly knitting and smiling in satisfaction as the titular scarecrow chases a screaming Micki in another room, to wildly attacking with a pair of scissors, is disturbingly effective. | |

Goblins in the Castle: Downplayed with Hulda. She always yells (because of her bad hearing), and uses her mutilated finger (which is missing its last joint) to scare William into behaving, claiming that Granny Pinchbottom will bite off the end of his finger too if he doesn't keep out of the sweet jar. She's also not the best at keeping the castle clean, as evidenced by her letting the laundry sit for months and not bothering to dust the castle for even longer (William notes that he likes to write his name in the dust, and the only signatures that are gone are those that have been covered with new dust). But she's really harmless, and a good cook. She's also genuinely worried about the Baron when he falls into an enchanted sleep in Goblins on the Prowl. | |

In The Others (2001), Grace hires three new servants to help her care for the children, but they seem to already know more about the whole situation than they let on. This leads to a double twist: the servants are all ghosts, but then again the Stewart family are as well. | |

Mrs. Bale from As Time Goes By: Subverted, since she is secretly quite nice, just extremely strange. Lionel does, however, make a Mrs. Danvers joke at her expense. As is revealed in the wedding episode, she also has a secret crush on Rocky, her employer. | |

Rivers of London features Molly, maid, cook, and housekeeper for the Folly. Looks like an attractive maid at first glance but at second glance moves too quickly and quietly for comfort, will not or cannot speak, and covers her mouth when she laughs or smiles to hide way too many teeth. | |

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. | |

Also averted with the pleasant, helpful, long-suffering Mrs. Hudson. Though it might be supposed that her neighbors think she's a bit nutty for putting up with her eccentric tenant. | |

Of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Mrs. Macready is the housekeeper for the Professor. When she first meets the children and they ask if it's her she says "Afraid so." When they get to the house all she does is tell them what they're not allowed to do. | |

The original House on Haunted Hill has Mrs. Slides. She's blind and gives quite a fright to poor Nora. And the audience is too, if her first appearance doesn't make them jump. | |
