After a spirit has possessed a corpse, its physical attributes and characteristics are the same to that of the person who had passed away. 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.
