'''''[[Nightmare on the 13th Floor]]''''' is a 1990 [[occult]] horror film directed by Walter Grauman. It was made-for-television and aired on the USA Network as a movie of the week on [[Halloween|Halloween Day]]. The plot revolves around a Los Angeles hotel with a hidden 13th floor inhabited by a cult trying to murder 16 people in order to gain eternal life. The film stars Michele Greene as travel writer Elaine Kalisher, James Brolin as Dr. Alan Lanier, and Louise Fletcher as Letti Gordon.
The '''[[Tetragrammaton]]''' is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH), the name of [[Yahweh|God]] in the Hebrew [[Bible]]. The four letters, written and read from right to left (in Hebrew), are yodh, he, waw, and he. The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.


The production was a typical low budget movie intended for television. The cast and crew had three weeks for preparation followed by three weeks of shooting. Some of the actors wore their own clothes after receiving approval from the costume designer. Many of the interior scenes were shot at the Ambassador Hotel. The scenes in the kitchen were filmed at approximately the same spot where Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Reviewers criticised the film's hackneyed premise, with Steve McKerrow of the ''Baltimore Sun'' asking: "How could four respectable actors -- Michele Greene, James Brolin, Louise Fletcher, and John Karlen -- be involved in such a mess?"
The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible except Esther, Ecclesiastes, and (with a possible instance of the short form יה‎ in verse 8:6) the Song of Songs contain this Hebrew name.

YHVH Oedipus Aegyptiacus1.png

The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH), the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. The four letters, written and read from right to left (in Hebrew), are yodh, he, waw, and he. The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.

The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible except Esther, Ecclesiastes, and (with a possible instance of the short form יה‎ in verse 8:6) the Song of Songs contain this Hebrew name. Observant Jews and those who follow Talmudic Jewish traditions do not pronounce יהוה‎ nor do they read aloud proposed transcription forms such as Yahweh or Yehovah.
