Have you ever noticed that cabins are constantly seen as death traps in television and cinema. It’s always where the nasty things happen. For instance, in Twin Peaks Laura Palmer’s sexual deviant activity occurs in a cabin with red drapes, and there are two lodges in the woods, the White Lodge and Black Lodge, that house the good and evil spirits of the world. Or, in Friday the 13th, (**SPOILER**) Jason’s mother murders several teenagers on the property of an old camp, which housed the campers in cabins (**END SPOILER**). Maybe you remember that piece of shit Eli Roth movie, Cabin Fever in which a few teenagers go out for a nice wooded vacation, only to watch each other slowly decay from some weird toxin in the water. There are many more to note, but I don’t want to take up space listing them all (Evil Deads).
I just wanted to announce my stance on the issue. I feel that cabins have received a bad wrap. I’ve stayed in quite a few cabins in my day and haven’t died yet. I mean, that might be because of my Rambo like skill, but nevertheless, the attacks have never been that brutal. This is just another attempt at the ‘Hollywood elite’ to misconstrue the facts. You may want to prevent me from going into the woods Hollywood elite, but it isn’t working.
