A blood count? (7)

I believe the answer is:

dracula

'a blood count?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dracula that I've seen before include "Bram Stoker's batman" , "Bram Stoker creation" , "Blood Count?" , "gothic novel" , "Vampire Count (Stoker)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
