One of my favorite movies growing up was "The Burbs" starring Tom Hanks. They took the idea of santinists who live next door and are suspected of human sacrifice. Its a comedy! So its dealing with this heinous subject matter and they frame it as a outrageous fictional comedy. Very effective in cementing the notion that such evil is fictional. Same tactic is being done here.
