the vacationing american couple


is it supposed to be implied that they were dead the whole time, since their vacation spot is very similar to heaven at the end?

Hmmm I never considered that, I just have always thought they were a parody of a clueless, but likeable middle-aged couple who thinks that cheesy and cliched vacation spots (such as the dungeon-themed restaurant) are "exotic" and entertaining...
