    Count Dracula could sleep in a bed and didn't necessarily need to sleep in a coffin regain his strength. It was the Transylvanian soil that he needed to sleep under so really the coffin is an option to do so easily. It sounds like a weakness when you say he can't sleep in a bed. However the story can be made funnier if you keep that idea in it.

      up until I started thinking about it with any seriousness, I'd been living under the assumption that he was awarded the title of count for making a good-selling cereal product. because knights in England are knighted for producing something that greatly benefited the country, like poetry or movies or some other culture. I completely glossed over the fact that count title means land. so I'd say that that land is where chocula discovered, and made, chocolate cereal.

      it's a thing that happens if you have certain consonants next to each other, I don't know the English words for these, but there are consonants that make your throat vibrate and others not (you can check by saying d and t or p and b) there are pairs that belong together (like the ones I mentioned above) that change into each other
      so in the example: Habsburg: b vibrates, but has s next to it that doesn't vibrate, so it makes b not vibrate as well making it into a p
      it happens because it makes words easier to pronunce
