Whoever put together Wikipedia’s ‘Table of Vampire Traits‘ definitely had themselves a little fun – highlights include:

Attractiveness

• Count Duckula – Alluring ^{[citation required]}
• Underworld – Kate Beckinsale

Weaknesses

• Count Chocula – Becomes soggy in milk
• Count Von Count – Obsessive urge to count anything on hand*

*Whilst he was blatantly created because of the Count/count thing I’ve only just realised that his obsession to count is an actual** vampiric trait – traditionally seeds were a suitable defence which also brings to mind the (quite excellent) X-Files episode  ‘Bad Blood‘

**Yeah, not real, whatever…

Complete with pattern.

She’s also made Elmo and Grover hats as well as a complete R2 costume to go with the beanie for her nephew. Frickin awesome.
