This week’s video was created by MIT biology student Joshua Meisel to promote a Halloween party in 2009, but it s really too great a production to be watched only for the sake of attending an undergraduate booze-up. This short film is based on Maurice Sendak’s classic book ‘Where the Wild things Are’, and it beautifully captures its mysticism and innocence. The video is an outstanding testament to Where the Wild Things Are and today is the perfect day for you to watch it.
