* The [[BonusDungeon sixth maze]] of ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey IV: Legends of the Titan'', the [[spoiler:Hall of Darkness]], is a sinister, dark, long-abandoned library [[spoiler:slash research facility]] where the shelves and walls are caked with blood. And for full effect, unlike every other track in the game, the level's background 'music' is a rather creepy ambient piece.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has the Forbidden Stacks in the Bonesborough Library, which is dark, tended to by spectral arms, and off limits to everybody but the head librarian. The rest of the library is a lot more welcoming, to the point that one could easily mistake it for an ordinary Earth library if it wasn't for all the demons and witches walking around.

* One scene in ''Ride/TheHauntedMansion'' has guests passing through one of these, as noted in the page quote. It is a neat version of this trope, yet remains eerily abandoned. The centerpiece of this scene is the head busts which, through an optical illusion, turn to follow the guest's eyes throughout the scene.

* The Zurich library that MI6 agent Kara investigates in the 3rd ''VideoGame/CovertFront'' game plays this very well. After leaving the hotel in the previous chapter that some nice violin music, all you hear in this area is just the wind on a cold night.
