On one of The Simpsons Halloween Specials, during a spoof of Coppola's Dracula (Monty Burns, of course, playing the count), Bart and Lisa search for the secret chamber holding the coffin. The pull a lever and a panel slides open, revealing a washer and dryer, along with shelves of detergent and neatly-stacked laundry. I can't help but picture Willie (or Magda) utilizing one of the secret rooms for that very purpose. Well, when space is a premium, you make do with whatchya got.
