Is there a particular movie being referenced in the opening scene of The Cabin in the Woods?
The Cabin in the Woods is filled with horror movie references and Easter Eggs. In the beginning of the movie some of the characters are discussing the "1998 almost-disaster."
I am wondering if this is in reference to a 1998 horror film where the protagonists escaped. Is there a particular movie being referenced? Or am I at this point just looking for Easter Eggs where there are none?

@KevinHowell I've only seeing the movie once, but I remember it as 1989. Was there a movie from 1999 that might fit the mold?

a lot of commentors on io9 say it's 1998 and if the year is right it's assumed it's The Faculty because none of the kids die. I have no proof though only guesses.

@KevinHowell God the The Faculty was a terrible movie wasn't it? I will need to re-watch The Cabin in the Woods. I hope I haven't screwed up this question with the wrong year.

Not that this is on-point, but the opening (and the whole framing device of the underground facility) reminded me a lot of the video game Half-Life.

It's mentioned that the American facility has only failed to complete its ritual once before, in 1998, due to a screw-up by the Chem Department. Was that date chosen at random, or was a movie released that year that Joss Whedon thought was exceptionally-lame, even for schlock horror?
The best explanation seems to be The Faculty, since it had no fatalities except [see spoiler below], and it makes sense with the chem department part:
Scoping a list of 1998 horror films, the only one that sticks out is The Faculty. There isn't a single fatality within the main cast of students (save for the "Virgin" who is ultimately revealed as the monster). And to make matters worse the monster's undoing turns out to be the stoner's custom mix. Damn chem department indeed...

The 1998 glitch is a reference to THE FACULTY. The film has all five archetypes (fool = clea duvall, jock = the ginger guy, whore = delilah, scholar = josh hartnett [some might argue he is the fool, but he is not if you've seen more than 10 minutes of the movie], virgin = elijah wood). None of the five archetypes die. The monster (alien) is killed by a home-made narcotic amphetamine cooked up by the Scholar (aka the Chem Department's fault). Hope this helps.

I reviewed the 365 movies listed as horror movies from 1989 on IMDB, and nothing jumps out...there are a number of horror sequels which were part of a big franchise, but nothing which I would regard as iconic. If I were aiming to reference a movie, I'd be inclined to reference Evil Dead I or II, but those are 1981 and 1987 respectively.
It is interesting to note, however, that 1989 is when Joss Whedon started working on Roseanne. It may be a hat-tip to his first big job.

There was a movie from 1998 called simply "The Cabin".
Go to this link for the plot.
It was pretty similar to Cabin in the Woods.

was it 1989 or 1999?

@KevinHowell I've only seeing the movie once, but I remember it as 1989. Was there a movie from 1999 that might fit the mold?

a lot of commentors on io9 say it's 1998 and if the year is right it's assumed it's The Faculty because none of the kids die. I have no proof though only guesses.

@KevinHowell God the The Faculty was a terrible movie wasn't it? I will need to re-watch The Cabin in the Woods. I hope I haven't screwed up this question with the wrong year.

Not that this is on-point, but the opening (and the whole framing device of the underground facility) reminded me a lot of the video game Half-Life.
