I feel this is more likely a reference to the classic Tex Avery Droopy Dog cartoons, where the bloodhound improbably always catches up with his prey no matter how ridiculous his attempts to escape. The entry into a wood cabin in the wilds and slamming the door is a recurring motif. I also feel like the match blow out is another cartoon reference.
