LISTEN TO THE MOST MEMORABLE RADIO DRAMA IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
“A wave of mass hysteria seized thousands of radio listeners between 8:15 and 9:30 o’clock last night when a broadcast of a dramatization of an H. G. Wells fantasy, The War of the Worlds, led thousands to believe that an interplanetary conflict had started with invading Martians spreading wide death and destruction on New Jersey and New York.” —Excerpt from The New York Times, October 31, 1938
