Which serial killer is noted to have the most kills in movie & TV history?
After revisiting the seasons of Dexter, I asked myself, "How many individuals has he killed in all 8 seasons?" According to this list he has an "impressive" kill count of 135. After seeing this I wondered if there is an even more "productive" serial killer in movie and TV history.
A serial killer as defined by Wikipedia:
A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant break (a "cooling off period") between them.
So, which serial killer has racked up the most kills over the course of their appearances in film and TV?
If possible please add a source that can confirms the number of killings.

Jason Voorhees the serial killer from series of Friday The 13th movies seems to fit the bill here. With a total of 12/13 villain movies stretching from 1981 to the present and having believed to have killed in excess of 300 victims, he is the most successful serial killer of all, in the movies!

Answer 2
On the show Criminal Minds, the most prolific killer they encountered was Frank Breitkopf in S02E13 and S02E24. He had amassed 176 kills by the time he was caught.
I would assume that he fits the description of a serial killer quite well by whichever definition used, as he kills victims of a specific demographic in a specific repeated manner with long time intervals between each one.
