There is a table of most portrayed fictional characters around the world which is published in New York every three years. The latest edition was published in 2006 and has Frankenstein on the number one spot.

According to the Guinness Book of Records -
"the character most often portrayed is Count Dracula, created by the Irish writer Bram Stoker (18471912). Representations of the Count outnumber those of his closest rival, Frankenstein, by 161 to 117"
This section is Astronomy and Space by the way. This question should be in Movies.

Sherlock Holmes is correct. This doesn't have much to do with Astronomy or Space but I am ahuge Sherlock Holmes fan so I decided to answer anyway. There's been over 100 Sherlock Holmes movies made and that doesn't even include moveis where he was a periferal character.

Ya'know, that's an interesting question, i don't know that i've really put any research into that debate.

More movies are made about vampiers, werewolves and zombies than about Sherlock Holmes, unfortunately. Sorry, dude, looks like you lost this one.

Sherlock is way out there. He has had innumerable movies and serials involving him. And you are in the wrong section.
