Undead

Horror subject matter built on the returning or reanimated dead. Registered on one fetched tattoo-domain sentence which lists, inside western horror tattooing, "they are demons, they are zombies, they are half-animal and half-human beings, skulls". OPEN: no fetched source distinguishes zombie, vampire and revenant as separate tattoo subjects, so no children are registered under this node.

    Tattoo magazine gallery feature. Verbatim: "Under the dark horror hat fall all those subjects that have their origin in the visual imagery related to devilish creatures"; "In western horror, they are demons, they are zombies, they are half-animal and half-human beings, skulls and other subjects often linked to the heavy metal genre". The only fetched source that names undead and demonic subject matter as tattoo categories.

    Promoted from motifs_seed.common_themes of motif_zombie ('undead'); themes_seed.common_motifs of theme_undead ('zombie'). Asserted independently from both ends of the relation; deduped to one edge. Confidence is the LOWER of the contributing rows, not the higher. No new fact: this edge restates a value already present in the corpus. STRENGTH 0.75 set by the T11.11c rule: this pairing is asserted by TWO parent rows, one from each endpoint's own association column; the pack's scale reads 0.75 as 'frequent'. Inputs are corpus counts only - no source count, tier or confidence is used.
