War of the Worlds (Original and Complete 1938 Radio Broadcast)


October 31 2024

It’s that time once again for the most sacred of holidays here at XRadio… Halloween! As usual, we are celebrating the spooky season with a bunch of Halloween-themed specials and parties, as well as regular, annual tradition.

War of the Worlds (Original and Complete 1938 Radio Broadcast)

Each year, we celebrate the season with the amazing 1938 radio broadcast presentation of the 1898 H.G. Wells’s novel The War of the Worlds. This Halloween episode of the radio series The Mercury Theatre on the Air was directed and narrated by Orson Welles. The episode is famous for inciting a panic by convincing some members of the listening audience that a Martian invasion was actually taking place. It’s a great program and an annual Halloween tradition here at XRadio.

XRadio will broadcast this yearly special on Halloween at 9:00 am and 8:00 pm Pacific.
