Bet if we asked EA, they would just say it's an 'artists impression'. :P
Though I've been wanting to ask (because I can't see well on a tiny screen the size of a business card). The possum's eyes are they like this? ---> (x.x) It looks weird - maybe it's going through rigor mortis? Putrefaction even? But it's alive? Or is it dead? It also looks like it's been stuffed with cotton... *is confused*
I don't recall much from the episode, except something about a possum being found in the cabin or something.

Edit: Removed Wiki links, so here's the gist, courtesy of copy and paste. Read only if you want to find out how a body decomposes.
Rigor mortis -
At the time of death, a condition called "primary flaccidity" occurs. Following this, the muscles stiffen in rigor mortis. All muscles in the body are affected. Starting between two to six hours following death, rigor mortis begins with the eyelids, neck, and jaw.
Putrefaction -
The bacterial digestion of the cell proteins weakens the tissues of the body. As the proteins are continuously broken down to smaller components, the bacteria excrete gases and organic compounds, such as the functional-group amines putrescine and cadaverine, which carry the noxious odor of rotten flesh. Initially, the gases of putrefaction are constrained within the body cavities, but eventually diffuse through the adjacent tissues, and then into the circulatory system. Once in the blood vessels, the putrid gases infiltrate and diffuse to other parts of the body and the limbs. The visual result of gaseous tissue-infiltration is notable bloating of the torso and limbs.
