While you;re gutting the pumpkin, bagging the candy, and putting on the finishing touches on your costume and decorations tonight, you can listen to Orson Welles' historic War Of The Worlds radio broadcast through a special tribute streaming online tonight at 8PM EST at http://waroftheworldstribute.com/. The timing of tonight's broadcast will place it exactly seventy-one years, to the minute, from it's original broadcast in 1938 as part of The Mercury Theatre series. To chilling effect, Welles decided to present H. G. Wells' story as a series of real-time faux news broadcasts, an effect heightened by a lack of commercials, which news stations would drop during an emergency. The results were too successful, inspiring panic and hysteria amongst large groups of listeners who thought the reports of an alien invasion were real and began to spread the word amongst friends and families. While the story and it's performance are both brilliantly done, part of the fun of revisiting the program is to imagine what it would have been like to be one of those panicked listeners, already on edge with thoughts of invasion during an age of World War.
