Notes
If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose.

Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.

Violence
3/5

Frankenstein burns up, evil Sandra is thrown out of a window, and the Werewolf plunges off a cliff with Dracula, but all the violence is mitigated by comic Costello. Scenes of the Werewolf transforming, and of Dracula and the Werewolf menacing Wilbur may frighten younger viewers but amuse older ones.
