Transcript
Panel 1
(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)
Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!
Panel 2
(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!
Panel 3
(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.
Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?
Panel 4
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.
Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!
Panel 5
(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!
Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

No roundup of Evil Inc Halloween comics would be complete without mentioning the Real Housewives of Transylvania. This was an oddball idea that struck me during a brainstorming session one afternoon — and it turned into so much fun, I’ve done two complete storylines featuring these sexy, spooky ladies.
Real Housewives
The first storyline was in Oct. 2012,
and it introduced readers to the sultry sextet of scary sirens.
I enjoyed it so much that
I brought them back in 2013 — this time anchored by a story about the werewolf woman (Vera Wolf) dating a younger man.
All week I will be highlighting Halloween comics from years past.
I’ll also take just a moment to tell you about my special Halloween comic that collects the best Halloween-themed stories from 13 —
thirteen — years of my comics.
You’ll get spooky specials for Greystone Inn, Evil Inc and Phables — 80 pages of chuckles and chills!
And all for only $1.99 at DriveThruComics.
OR… you could
support my ongoing work in comics through Patreon. It doesn’t take a huge commitment. You can become a Patreon supporter for as little as $1 a month.
But if you sign up to
back me at the five dollar level, you’ll get this Halloween comic — and every past and upcoming Evil Inc monthly eComic — for
FREE.
One more Halloween treat…
I decided to upload my Real Housewives of Transylvania illustration and make it available as a
T-shirt and
posters! InksterInc has a great price on T-shirts ($20), and at Redbubble, you can get the design on a wide variety of styles — from hoodies to scoop necks and V-necks (which should make the Dracula in your life very happy).
