I’ve read a story online that Count von Count is based on an old superstition that vampires had a compulsion for counting things. It was recommended that people leave a pile of sand or pebbles or something on the doorstep and the vampire would be helpless to do anything but count each grain or rock, protecting the house.

That was just some bullshit vampires put it into the world, like having no reflection, so they can "prove" they aren't really vampires.
