Abstract
The popular sectors of society have often been represented as embodying a monstrous curse that promotes passivity with respect to dominant ideological structures. This paper will examine filmic horror and popular religion as perceived locations of ideological manipulation among the subaltern sectors of society. This perceived manipulation has generated moral panics and collective fears about the possibility of people turning into hideous creatures who wreak havoc on themselves and others. Through a critical appraisal of the 1941 horror movie The Wolf Man, this paper will utilize the theme of lycanthropy as a starting-point for probing the “low-end” traditions of popular religion and filmic horror within the writings of theologians, scholars and critics who fear that they promote alienation and re-inscribe hegemony. But is the curse of hegemony as totalizing as it is often described?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
