What if ‘Cabin in the Woods’ (2012) and its Deep State Are Real?

Cabin in the Woods is an enjoyable satire of basically every horror movie stereotype and archetype imaginable. The box office hit from 2012 written by Joss Whedon raked in a hefty profit while throwing nods to horror classics like Friday the 13th, Evil Dead and The Shining. The writing is genuinely funny and the spoofing is spot on, but is there more at work here?
