Alex, the Hearth Fire@amorablackrose in fact, Count von Count represents an obscure bit of vampire lore that I wish more writers used
The compulsive counting is as real of a thing as the aversion to running water

Lukyan@WizardOfDocs @amorablackrose Obscure? I think it's common while cool and worthy of more use in media.
People spill rice to delay a vampire (who has already untied the bootstraps), vampires use otherwise highly forbidden magic to parallelize grain counting.
@lukyan @amorablackrose where are you seeing it? Because I never do.
@WizardOfDocs @amorablackrose I think I know of only three examples, so yes, it's obscure.
Of movies, Dracula II: Ascension, or Dracula 3000, I'm not sure which I've seen.
Of literature, The Laundry Files.
Of webcomics, The Kingfisher (gay and horror).
@lukyan @amorablackrose thanks
Honestly I think the only more obscure vampire lore I've actually seen in a story is vampire squash, which I know from Ursula Vernon's Digger

There was an x-files episode where Mulder spilled his sunflower seeds on the floor in order to escape a vampire.
Season 5, Episode 12 "Bad Blood"
Ten Thousand WorldsI’ve only run across something like this once in modern fiction. The vampires in Chris(tina?) Lester’s “Metamor City” stories have a kind of obsessive-compulsiveness / hyper-focus. Even the city’s head vamp has to stop himself from straightening picture frames, polishing fingerprints off tabletops, and spiraling into perfectly arranging his environment when he gets stressed. Lester credits those old “counting rice grains ‘til sunrise” legends as the inspiration.
