Deadites

Deadites are a fictional term from the "Evil Dead" series, referring to the corrupted, demonic versions of the dead that are possessed by evil spirits. These entities are characterized by their aggressive, malevolent behavior, often attacking the living. They are typically depicted with unsettling appearances—unkept or ghastly looks—and exhibit supernatural abilities such as regeneration and teleportation. Deadites serve as the primary antagonists in the franchise, representing the evil force unleashed when an ancient evil is disturbed. Their presence underscores themes of horror, possession, and the struggle between good and evil.
