Cabin was actually most probably written prior to Dollhouse and possibly even before the comics. It was filmed in 2009 and Whedon mentions in the commentary that he was too busy to direct it (probably with DH), but was free when they were writing it. They also mention it sat it production hell for some time. I remember Eliza mentioning he called her about DH and mentioned horror films she was in during the runup for the show, so maybe the state of horror films was on his mind then. I'm guessing 06-07 for the writing dates.

Not that it matters to the rest of your post.
Good read, thanks.
