in the silent era of horror, the word "horror" began to be used as a generic signation, and more often instead used was the words "weird" and "mythical and mysterious." this is a time when adaptions were so rapidly made like frankenstein and edgar allan poe's works dominated this era. horror as a genre wasn't specifically "created" or the word wasn't used until dracula in the 1930s.

This gonna sound super petty ill admit but I cannot stand how the golem has become so far removed from its Jewish roots that most people aren't even aware that it originates from Jewish folklore let alone that its biggest purpose was to protect the Jewish people. I can't help but be a petty jew on main when I'm seeing comments on tiktok saying not to "shove Jewish shit in everything" when someone is talking about the history of the golem 🙄🙄🙄
Literally I hate it so much. "Golem" is a Hebrew word. It's a creature created to protect the Jewish people. It's always been Jewish.

Paul Wegener as the Golem, a creature made of clay brought to life based on Jewish folklore.
Wegener, as co-writer, co-director and star, made a trio of Golem films in the silent era: The Golem (1915), The Golem and the Dancing Girl (1917), and The Golem: How He Came Into the World (1920).
The first two films are considered lost. The Golem: How He Came Into the World nowadays is usually referred to as just The Golem.

Hi, Jumblr!
I have been asked by my shul to put a call out on socials for a lecture we have coming up as a part of our adult education programs. It is to honor the 25th yahrzeit of one of our members, and in honor of his love of literature and science fiction, the theme is going to be along those lines.
Ideas floated by the adult education committee have been stories about the Golem and the traditions that have come from it, an author talk by a Jewish sci fi or fantasy author, or subject matter experts in Jewish folklore and storytelling. We're open to suggestions, though, and if you know of someone with expertise in a related area who would be open to speaking to our congregation one Friday this Winter or Spring, please let me know!
If anyone knows someone who would be open to doing a lecture or workshop for us and is qualified in any of these or related areas, please reach out to me! I greatly appreciate it!
