Subject: Sci-fi movie fans, help me out...
Written By: lorac614 on 05/20/04 at 8:45 am
OK, I need some help...
I need to know if this is a real movie or just something I imagined.
I'm not sure when it would have been made but I would assume that it was in the 70's, but it could have been earlier. Was there ever a movie about a radio broadcast about an invasion from Mars? The people who were listening to the radio thought it was real and it caused a panic?ÂÂ
I thought it was called "The War of the Worlds" but I just watched that movie last night so I know it's not that.
Help me before I go crazy..well, crazier than I am already! :o

You may just be remembering reading about the original radio transmission of War of the Worlds. It was done as a news report with real locations mentioned and many people listening did not realise it was a radio drama. I think a big game had finished earlier or over ran or something so many people missed the start of the programme when they switched stations.

Maybe you're thinking about the 1975 made-for-television movie "The Night That Panicked America"?

You're welcome :) Good luck trying to find this one on tape or dvd, though.
