"And of course the great broadcast in October 1938 adapted from the book written by H G Wells, War of the World. The book was originally situating the story in England."

My mom was 14 when this broadcast happened. She told us about a neighbor rushing over in a panic to fill them in.

“She told us about a neighbor rushing over in a panic to fill them in.”

I heard it rumored that people heard the early part of the broadcast and before it was announced it was not a new insert but a story, they left their houses and went over to people they hated nd killed them. It really caused a stir in America. I don’t think TV or movies could utilize the public’s imagination like this using video that the people could see.
