About this title

Synopsis:

Relive the night Martians landed, mass-panicking a million people!; Includes Orson Welles' original 1938 broadcast of H G Wells' classic; 50,000-copy initial print run; For the first time, one book captures the story behind Orson Welles' celebrated adaptation of H G Wells' classic tale of Martian invasion with the immediacy of the panic-inducing 1938 Halloween broadcast itself. The Complete War of the Worlds tells how Welles and the Mercury Theatre drove over a million people into hysteria with the 'news reports' of Martians destroying the Earth. The wide-spread panic awakened the world to both the incredible potential and the inherent danger of mass broadcast media. Relive it all with: The original broadcast of October 30, 1938, by the Mercury Theatre Company; The Orson Welles press conference on October 31, 1938; The 1940 Interview with H G Wells and Orson Welles, plus other Interviews; Plus clips from the stage musical War of the Worlds, with Richard Burton
