Love Orson's comment at the end xD

"That grinning, glowing, globular invader of your living room is an inhabitant of the pumpkin patch, and if your doorbell rings and nobody's there, that was no Martian; it's Halloween".

[Hercfan1978]

This is awesome I have never heard it all before, thank you for uploading!

Fantastic! I wanted to listen to this since my dad told me about it when I was a child. Simply wonderful and to find out that Welles was amused by the result of the production is priceless.

To think, two world wars were coming in 1938, one with japs&nazis the other with Martians, poor 1938 america

My parents heard this in 1938 when they were kids and they were freaked out!

Now im a guy who watches all the modern films and plays all the modern games but if its a film I watch half of it then I end up getting bored and I have to go and do something eles.

But war of the worlds I could not stop listening to it I had to finnish it once I started it

it acually sucked me in and I acually felt like I was there

Despite the fact that my grandfather was five when this aired.

This was a great listen. First time I have heard it.

[batmous]

what was the music they played at the end?

[imothra]

Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto no. 1.

Note that Orson is somewhat amused, at the end, that his production caused so much panic among millions of listeners. Dan Seymour's announcement about "next week's production" of November 6th was partially correct. The "Mercury Theater" presented, on short notice, brief adaptations of Joseph Conrad's "Heart Of Darkness" and Clarence Day's "Life With Father". After the broadcast, cast and crew stayed in the Columbia Broadcasting Building for a while, and then "released". Orson met the press...

i can see now that Steven Spielberg got a lot of hes ideas for his movie from this brodcast.

thank you for uploading this .

[WKRPinCINN]

@zwayd -- how could you ever be so ignorant of this seminal piece of media as to think that Spielberg was without inspiration for his film adaptation?

[DinoAndCoasterGuy333]

Where did u get the recording?!

[imothra]

This, and all sorts of other great classic media, can be found on Internet Archive dot org.

[DinoAndCoasterGuy333]
