In "Burton's Blood!" from Vault of Evil #11, John Burton awakens from a decades-long slumber, only to find the world he once fed upon has vanished—leaving behind only the cold, silent remnants of humanity in the form of human-like robots. The story follows his eerie realization that his hunger for blood now has nowhere to go, as the living are gone and the machines remain, unaware of his ancient thirst.

In "The Tomb," Silas Worth, a wealthy miser, fakes his death to confront his nephew Teasle and see how he’ll react—but when he finally reveals himself, the moment is shattered. Teasle, George, and Alice pay him no mind, and Silas soon realizes the drug meant to simulate death has left him a ghost, trapped between worlds.

When Freddy stirs from his muddy bottle in the swamp, he’s not bound by a master—just a world to conquer. Freed from the old chains of command, the genie sets his sights on enslaving the Earth, one twisted wish at a time.
