The removal of the head generally makes zombies less terrifying than keeping the head but making the look of the eyes unnatural.

The most terrifying option is to choose both. Just have the head fall off as the hero fights the zombie. Zombie doesn't care, keeps attacking.

Actually, I don't know whether that's terrifying or funny.

Horror movies have shown us that it can be both. It depends a bit on the context and whether or not you expect it.

In my opinion, the scariest zombies are the 28 Days Later (TM) brand. I like my zombies to be fast, drooling, rabid, and unpredictable as hell. A slow, predictable, stupid wall of undead is only stressful if you don't have enough ammo to shoot them all in time. The heroes normally don't, and end up spending time of the roofs of malls like they are on an abandoned tropical island. Dawn of the Dead is about as scary as Robinson Crusoe. The new version has an awesome cover of Down with the Sickness, though, so I still give it my thumbs-up.

It's Diablo meets Left 4 Dead!

My favorite moment in all of Diablo 2, hands down, was the very first time I jumped through Nihilitak's portal and got flanked by a bunch of reanimated skeletons, led by Pindleskin.

Similarly, one of my favorite moments of BioShock (anyone ever play that?) was when one of the hundreds of corpses I'd seen to that point in the game actually got up and ambushed me. Man, are there ever a lot of corpses in BioShock.

So yeah, I think it would be cool if you're going through Diablo 3, come upon scenes of past slaughters, and sometimes nothing happens, sometimes everything is just playing dead and you get jumped. It would keep you on your toes whenever you see corpses. The trick on Blizzard's part would be keeping it random enough that you never assume it's one way or the other.

Did you know that Witch Doctors in Africa kill albinos to use thier organs in thier witchcraft?
My question is: can albino people overcome this kind of brutallity against thier brothers-of-white and play the Witch-Doctor class?

It is the law of the jungle. Very few albinos, of any species, survive until adulthood. They just don't blend in well.

Albino liver is exceptionally scrumptious. *licks lips*
