The zombie video sounds hilarious. I think, however, that none of your videos can match my two high school masterpieces:
in one, I tried to film the explosion of Mount Pelée, which involved setting up a papier-maché cone on a table in my front yard and sending two 4th of July sparklers through the hole in the top to represent the tower of Pelé, while squirting flour at the same time for the ash clouds. As you can imagine, the resulting scene was somewhat... pathetic, and it looked as though the volcano had erectile disfunction. The all-too-spindly tower went crooked, and the puffs of flour were so pathetic as to be well nigh on non-existant. I can't watch the video without crying from laughter.
My other triumphs were: 1) a video of the Pardoner's Tale from Chaucer; I used my Wizard of Oz dolls to play the characters and made them move via high-class (ahem) stop-action technology, and I intercut it with scenes from the actual Wizard of Oz. I am so strange. 2) a dramatization of the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice from Ovid, in which I used little clay figures and similar technology to the above, and actually, it was going quite well until I got to Orpheus' song and just made up a tune while I sang the Latin, and Orpheus just stood there for the approximately five hideously boring minutes of my random warbling.

So, you see? Your videos were cool. ;)
