Cabin in the Woods and Scream: Two movies work together to invent a new horror movie trope - acknowledging something is a trope, having other characters make fun of them saying “that’s a horror movie trope, stop being paranoid,” and having the twist be that the trope actually occurs.

Cabin in the Woods: We learn of the true monster in the woods, how Brooke’s trauma traumatized her mother, and the ominous possibility of Kevin.
