comment |
In the small New England coastal town of Hanesbury, strange things have been happening—people claiming to be haunted by ghosts, unexplained tremors beneath town, and a legend of an old hidden treasure being just a few instances. All of this utterly confuses self-described skeptic Carlton as he begins his job at Hanesbury’s local law firm.Soon enough, however, Carlton’s natural curiosity leads him into encounters with some of Hanesbury’s strangest residents, including weapons expert and single mother Miriam Prior; superpowered twins Jack and Algy Graham; perky vampire Ginnie Kelly; taciturn telekinetic Orville; doctor-with-a-dark-secret Elliot Quaid; mad inventor Frank Epstein; and mysterious Girl Next Door Liza. Under the watchful eye of a member of the town’s wealthiest and most respected family, this Ragtag Bunch of Misfits unites to uncover and dispose of Hanesbury’s supernatural phenomena.In spite of their general lack of experience in the realm of paranormal investigation (a fact that often leads to awkward and/or humorous situations), the members of "Heinous Investigations" find a way to make their business work, even with constant threats from Delia Smythe, a particularly unstable wannabe villainess from Carlton’s past.Heinous Investigations heavily follows a Monster of the Week format, parodying everything spanning the realms of Sci-fi, Fantasy, and the Supernatural; it also features overarching secondary plots throughout each season. It is popular for its zany cast of characters and its LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse representation. |

Only Sane Man: An interesting case wherein multiple characters take turns in this role, depending on the situation. Chances are if Carlton is Not So Above It All at the time, Miriam will be more grounded, and vice versa. Martin, Liza, and Jack, while all capable of having their moments, can fit this role as well. |

Not to mention Chester and his wife Paula, a well meaning, albeit unsettling, old couple. |

| | Heinous Investigations (Podcast) / int_3c51db1c |
comment |
Zany Scheme: What the Investigators often resort to at some point during their cases. Carlton tries to lure ghosts out into the open sea with chocolate cake. Algernon has his own brother impersonate his (fictional) date to a fancy party in a bid to make his newly-engaged ex jealous. Ginnie's plan to catch an invisible man involves placing a bucket of paint on a door ledge and events escalating from there. Frank tries to face off with dangerous man-hunters by making an impromptu cannon out of a log, rocks, and "conveniently combustable materials". |

Would Hurt a Child |
| | Heinous Investigations (Podcast) / int_479d4e5a |
comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Since two of the series' central characters are children, this is a common characteristic among Heinous villains. Delia intends to destroy the whole of Heinous Investigations, Rachel and Benji included. The Atlantic Exterminator worm from the "Odd Couples" arc, who shows no discretion in where it strikes, eventually does so in the playground of Hanesbury Elementary School. Todd the corn demon tries to destroy all of Hanesbury, with Rachel and numerous other children still in it. Lavinia outright tries to murder and possess Rachel's body in order to become more powerful. CR-3TR attempts to kill Benji to get to Frank, and then swears that they'll have no problem doing it again. |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Delia and Nate are siblings, and for all of Delia's outright cruelty toward her brother, she still loves him. Probably. Meanwhile, Nate still cares enough for Delia and her safety to stand by her, even when he really knows he shouldn't. |

The Nicknamer: Carlton has a tendency to call the people in his life by anything other than their actual names. This includes calling Miriam by her surname "Prior", calling Rachel "half pint", and calling Frank "Frankenstein" more than any other member of the cast. He also calls Elliot "kid" in spite of Elliot being a good 1,000 years older than him. |

Cast Full of Gay: Many of the Investigators are confirmed to be LGBTQIA+. Especially of note are Ginnie, who is openly attracted to both women and men, and Miriam, who has had a relationship with a man and is currently dating Dulcie. |

Dark and Troubled Past |
| | Heinous Investigations (Podcast) / int_fed93e1b |
comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Carlton and Miriam have outlandishly bizarre pasts that are also very upsetting. Carlton was a child runaway and ward of a criminal organization; Miriam was raised in a cult that openly discriminated against her family for being racial minorities and shunned her because of her Teen Pregnancy. Orville's description of his family history and his My Parents Are Dead moment with Ginnie hints that he has some dark baggage as well. |
