Tonight, October 30th, is the 73rd Anniversary of the 1938 The Mercury Theatre on the Air radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds, the dramatization of H.G. Wells's seminal science fiction novel The War of the Worlds (1898). Narrated by famed Hollywood icon Orson Welles, the broadcast sent thousands of people into a frenzied panic, as they truly believed marauding Martians had landed at Grover's Mill, New Jersey and were advancing on New York City. Below is an MP3 file of the original broadcast!
