However, dark magic used by the spirit causes the body to change in certain significant ways, such as the teeth growing sharper, eyes turning pale, and the skin decaying. The longer someone remains possessed by a demonic spirit as a Deadite, the more hideous they are in appearance. It is never revealed whether the Deadites in The Cabin in the Woods function in this way as well.

It is unknown what item summons them. However, there are many possible ideas, such as reading from the Necronomicon, a dark magic-based ritual, tampering with items of the deceased, and so on.
