Description
War of the World Radio Broadcast From The New York Times on October
31, 1938 "A wave of mass hysteria seized thousand of radio listeners between
8:15 and 9:30 o’clock last night when a broadcast of a dramatization of H.G.
Wells’s fantasy, The war of the Worlds, led thousands to believe that an
interplanetary conflict had started with invading Martians spreading wide death
and destruction in New Jersey and New York.
The broadcast, which disrupted households, interrupted religious services,
created traffic jams and clogged communications systems, was made by Orson
Welles, who as the radio character, The Shadow, used to give "the creeps" to
countless child listeners. This time at least a score of adults required medical
treatment for shock and Hysteria"
1940 Radio Interview with H.G. Wells and Orson Welles Hear directly
from the brilliant author and the Actor who brought his work to life with
