4''Creepbury Close'' is a horror-sitcom-style comic series created by [[http://Topperhay.deviantart.com/ Topperhay]] and [[http://granitoons.deviantart.com/ Granitoons]] and is updated on their webpages on Website/DeviantArt. It focuses on the everyday (or night) lives of a suburb of various horror-based characters. Despite their creepy appearances and settings, they have the same ups and downs of any neighbourhood.

6!!This series provides examples of the following:
7
8* AbandonedHospital: Not exactly abandoned, but there's certainly not a lot of staff or patients there.
9* AxCrazy / BattleaxeNurse: Nurse Hearse - she's pretty psychotic and her weapon of choice is an axe.
10* BrawnHilda: Seabury's cousin Rodica, to an extent.
11* ButtMonkey: Mummy's Boy as he's generally the butt of anything that goes wrong.
12* CoolOldLady: Grandma Sangria - the only relative Seabury seems to respect out of love rather than fear or duty.
13* CreepyMortician: Dr. [=MacAbre=], despite the fact that he is ostensibly a doctor.
14* DeadpanSnarker: Yorrick's whole personality and to a lesser extent, Count Araktiv.
15* EnglishRose: Faye [=DeWaye=].
16* FunnyForeigner: Chef Fibula is a comedy French chef.
17* FrankensteinsMonster: Uncle Oaffe and to a lesser extent, Nurse Hearse.
18* GreasySpoon: The Mummy's Cafe.
19* TheJeeves: Douglas the wise old oak tree is often consulted for advice.
20* LargeHam: Sir Colin Deadgrave the zombie actor is prone to over-acting.
21* MotorMouth: Mummy Dearest - very much so, so much so that other characters find it difficult to get a word in edgeways at times.
22* MyBelovedSmother: Mummy Dearest still treats her son like he was still a child much to his embarassment.
23* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Sophie (Nice) is friendly, if ditzy. Polly (Mean) is a hot-tempered loudmouth. Lee (In-Between) is a ControlFreak obsessed with punctuality and efficiency, but nicer than Polly.
24* NonMaliciousMonster: Basically, the entire cast, with the exception of the medics. Seabury is naughty, but he's not evil.
25* OnlySaneMan: Count Araktiv is the nearest thing the comic has to a staightman.
26* OopNorth: The Mummies - especially Mummy Dearest - despite being apparently Egyptian.
27* PoirotSpeak: Chef Fibula's dialogue.
28* ProperVictorianLady: Faye [=DeWaye=] is patterned after demure Victorian femininity.
29* RedEyesTakeWarning: Polly has these.
30* TheScottishTrope: The main plot focus of 'Acting The Ghost' where Sir Colin and Yorrick attempt to put a show of Macbeth but everything goes wrong.
31* TheScrooge: Dr. [=MacAbre=] falls under the Miserly Scotsman type.
32* SpoiledBrat: Young Master Seabury, though he frequently get his comeuppance for his misdeeds.
33* StylisticSuck: Seabury's "Flesh" cartoon within a cartoon at the beginning of "The Curse of Creepbury Close".
