I wonder how true it will be to the original story written by H.G. Wells? Anyone who's read the book or was alive to hear the 1938 broadcast will be able to tell us. I only read the book. Maybe my grandpa heard the radio broadcast. When it was read on radio they adapted it to make it sound like a news alert and people actually believed that martians had landed on Earth and were attacking. People panicked and fled. Must've been funny when they released it was just a little Halloween joke.
