Old Time Radio: The War of the Worlds
Remember, it’s Halloween
Well, it isn’t Halloween. Halloween was a couple of weeks ago. But way back in 1938 Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater broadcast an original presentation of HG Wells science fiction classic, War of the Worlds.
The broadcast was historic in that the dramatic nature of the broadcast had actually fooled many listeners into believing that aliens from Mars had actually launched an invasion of the earth.
So sit back and enjoy a broadcast that moved and shook listeners way back in October, 1938!
Also of interest:
S’okay, but this guy sounds nothing like Tom Cruise. And there’s no cute little Dakota Fanning!
Jaytee,
Well, we can’t have it all!
We’ve come a long way baby or have we, watch some 2008 election campaign ads!
Hahahaha, I have found something that is older than me, I thouht there was nothing left that age!
Glad you dig it!
