Hmm.. in some vampire myths you can distract a vampire by scattering a bag of grain or similar in front of them because they are compelled to stop and count it. (And yes, that is why Sesame Street's Count von Count is like that.)
So maybe it's only crosses that are almost, but not exactly perpendicular that cause them pain.
That's why he's called count dracula!
The comma between count and Dracula was lost to time.
Count, Dracula, count!
What a glorious day it was when he did, in fact, count!
