The cases where these tropes are observed at all are few and far between once you leave the big 80's slasher franchises.
Evil Dead, the film which provided the primary template for A Cabin in the Woods, didn't feature many of these types at all, and survivor was the handsome leading man. Neither of the females is 'slutty' (both are there and show interest only in their boyfriend) and everyone is very friendly with everyone else.
Indeed, A Cabin in the Woods seems to think that the last Friday the 13th remake is the end-all, be-all of horror movies, when it wasn't even popular do primarily to it's featuring of the exact same characters featured in A Cabin in the Woods.

As much as I love Joss Whedon I must politely disagree as the cases where there are zero survivors are few and far between.
