My guess is it was initially just that they're isolated, in an area that's a little unsettling at night, has lots of cover for chase scenes if they leave the small bubble of humanity, and..possibly has the image of being faux chipper? (not sure on that last one)
And then after that, it was just bc one movie did it successfully, haha
It's probably originating in campfire stories but I love your idea better.
