Vampire Features Our favourite vampires
Pick a vamp, any vamp:
Count von Count

A regular of Sesame Street since 1972, the Count has all the traditional vampire features, like cape, pointy teeth and the ability to turn into a bat. By counting, he can summon thunder and lightning - showing an unearthly mastery over the elements.

Blood, however, never seemed to be of much interest to him, for the Count has but one abiding love in life - counting. Stars, grains of sand, people, you name it, he'll count it. Though he never seemed to get past twelve, strangely.

A girlfriend for the Count, the Marlene Dietrich-like Countess Dahling Von Dahling turns up very occasionally. Her trick is counting backwards. One can only imagine what the Count and Countess' home life is like.


Fear rating
If maths gives you cold shudders, this Count will sum up all your worst nightmares. Otherwise low. 2/10

Blood factor
We just don't know, but being a muppet, it's entirely possible that the Count actually sucks lint. 4/10

Cuddliness quotient
He's made of felt and fluff, so highly cuddly. 9/10

Sexy beast?
He does have a dark allure, and a lovely voice. Sadly, he's already taken. And he's a bit old, at 1,832,652. 7/10
