Definitely Dracula for me. I'm not fond of a lot of the other vampire series that the genre has spawned though. IE: First Blood, The Vampire Diaries. The original story is great and the latest series with Jonathan Rhys Meyers is very atmospheric and creepy.

Dracula gets my vote! I've always loved vampire stories & films! :)

Haha, that's funny! I can see Dracula acclimating great knowledge in his many years (what with being immortal and all); he could be just as wise as Sherlock.

Sherlock Holmes. In film and television the story lines are well written and the acting is good in almost all cases. I always stay with it til the end.

Dracula is iconic but for all they have done the acting is usually bad and the writing is cheesy and lacks depth. With a few exceptions like Bram Stoker with Gary Oldman these efforts have a hard time holding my attention.

Sherlock - almost all iterations of him in movies and TV shows and the original one in the books. :)

"Count" me in for Dracula, especially the classic 1931 version with the great Bela Lugosi.
BTW: He was a Shakespearean actor in Europe, prior coming to Hollwood.

Definitely Sherlock Holmes. You can't beat Basil Rathbone as the great detective.

I think that the best acting as Sherlock Holmes is by Jeremy Brett. It was because of him, I became a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes.

I think there is room for both of them. While their stories are both timeless, they could be updated through the magic of today's creative writers.

Actually, Sherlock never said that in the books.
