Beginning with the landmark 1920 German silent film The Golem, based on the ancient Hebrew legend, Jewish horror films have proven to be one of cinema’s most fascinating sub-genres. From the shocks of such chillers as The Unborn, The Possession, and The Vigil to the horrific yucks of The Fearless Vampire Killers and An American Werewolf in London, no tombstone will be left unturned! We’ll also run down the stories behind a couple of the major “Christian” horror films that were made by Jewish filmmakers (The Exorcist, anyone?). Join the Conservancy for a FilmShul program that takes an occasionally terrifying but often light-hearted look at the history, growth, and status of Jewish horror cinema.
