Furthermore, the Count has never demonstrated a fondness for blood, nor does he sleep in a coffin (he sleeps at night in a normal bed). Unlike vampires as traditionally depicted in legend and motion pictures, however, The Count often relaxes in the sunlight (as seen in " Counting Vacation" and " Coconut Counting Man," among others), but has shown a tendency to stay out of it when he can.
The script for Episode 1357 had the Count acknowledge his childhood as "a little vampire," but this was not carried over to the taped episode.
In addition, an early skit revealed that the Count shows no reflection in a mirror, and the Season 40 online press kit listed garlic as a pet peeve both of these characteristics are consistent with vampire ailments. For example, in early sketches, the Count waves his hands to exercise hypnotic power over other Muppets and holds his cape over the lower part of his face while moving (as seen in a 1972 sketch with Ernie and Bert). The Count resembles Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula in voice (speaking in an Eastern European accent and pronouncing his Vs as Ws, and vice-versa), appearance, and sometimes mannerisms.
Yet, while he exhibits many classic vampire clichés - an old spooky castle, a fondness for bats, fang-like teeth, and his overall appearance - he has never been explicitly identified as a vampire, on screen. Sesame Street’s Count von Count was originally modeled after Bela Lugosi's interpretation of Count Dracula. The Count's Number Parade drew criticism in 1979 from one reader who wrote: "It seems poisonous to make a monster (Dracula) to appear as a competent teacher (even a teacher of numbers) because such an appearance would seem to mislead children into trusting Dracula, and possibly monsters in general."Īt the Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala in 2014, Ali Wentworth exposes her neck to the Count, who holds her in an embrace a common trope of vampire stories. The Count encounters garlic (Episode 4931). The Count responds to the question in a 2017 Wired video.

The ticket-request period for the concert has closed, but patrons are invited to stand by for last-minute seating before each of the performances. Santino Fontana, who is best known as the voice of Hans in Disney’s “Frozen,” will also perform in the concert. Last Friday, it was announced that in addition to Count von Count, Elmo, Grover, Abby Cadabby, Rosita, Bert and Ernie, the choir will also be joined by Big Bird and Cookie Monster. The Count joined various people associated with the choir, including Associate Director Ryan Murphy and the choir's president, Ronald Jarrett, for a humorous video to excite fans before the big show. 7, the famous Count von Count began counting down the days until the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will be joined by the Sesame Street Muppets for its 2014 Christmas concert. "Sesame Street" fans know there is nothing Count von Count loves more than counting, so who better to count down the days until the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert than children’s favorite vampire?īeginning on Dec.
