[Cabin in the Woods] How did everything work before modern technology? (Spoilers)

I mean, they rely a *lot* on chemicals, lighting, cameras, electrical shocks, and the like to herd the sacrifices to their doom, to get them to choose their fate, etc. How would these setups have worked in the pre-electrical age? What about during the medieval period?

There's a line in the film to the effect of "it was way easier back in the day when all we had to do was throw a guy into a volcano". So over time it's had to become more and more elaborate to keep the gods satisfied. Which considering the movie is a metaphor where the "gods" are modern movie audiences and studios, is also a metaphor about how movie gore scenes have had to become more and more elaborate to still say fresh.
