Count von Count (also known as The Count) is a character from the television series Sesame Street. Introduced in the show's fourth season, he is a mysterious but friendly vampire-like Muppet who is meant to parody Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Count Dracula. The Count has a compulsive love of counting; he will count anything and everything, regardless of size, amount, or how much annoyance he causes others around him. Whenever he finishes counting, the Count laughs and announces his total (which sometimes appears on screen), usually accompanied by a crash of thunder and a flash of lightning.
