War of the Worlds-1938

This is the original broadcast of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio play. Originally airing in 1938 this radio play caused mass panic across the country because many people thought it was real, despite the fact that it was announced as a work of fiction prior to the radio play airing.
The sound effects are superb for this day and age and the actors presented the story so realistically that it helped to fuel the fire of listeners thinking the entire thing was real.
Please enjoy this radio play in its entirety, as it originally aired back in 1938.
