janmar65 ::: Favorites Wow! Nothing like the "fear factor!" 07-10-30 20:42:50 __________________________________________________
timmy497 ::: Favorites I love these broadcasts. huisoflondon: Orson's last name is actually spelled "Welles". It can be confusing since its H. G. Wells's novel that was adapted to the radio. 07-10-30 15:14:00 __________________________________________________
Jackassbobby112 ::: Favorites I remember hearing this in highschool. I heard my Teacher telling me people back then who heard it over the radio committed suicide. Crazy the fact that it was just a radio show. 07-10-28 02:11:30 __________________________________________________

funnyhaha11 ::: Favorites LOL, our LA teacher scared us today in class with this! He cut out the first 3 minutes. XD 07-10-26 18:27:06 __________________________________________________
funnyhaha11 ::: Favorites 1.) It's not confirmed that they killed theirselves. 2.) He wasn't arrested because it wasn't against the law at the time! 07-10-26 18:25:53 __________________________________________________
fromthesidelines ::: Favorites Bernard Herrmann was the series' arranger/conductor, and followed Welles to Hollywood, where he composed the score for "Citizen Kane". 07-10-24 15:57:08 __________________________________________________
fromthesidelines ::: Favorites Dan Seymour, who announced hundreds of radio shows over a 20 year period (and became an executive at the J. Walter Thompson ad agency), is the show's announcer. Frank Readick, who preceded Orson as "The Shadow", is "Carl Phillips". 07-10-24 15:55:40 __________________________________________________
michaeljayklein ::: Favorites It certainly introduced the genius that was Orson Welles to the world. I think at that point in time with the world on the brink of World War II coupled with the novel presentation of this radio drama, it was more than enough to induce hysteria. My dad worked at a gas station in South Jersey at the time and he told me that night people were driving in with wet towels on their heads to protect them from the heat rays! 07-10-23 16:45:50 __________________________________________________
