What happens when a perfectly normal radio show sparks an alien invasion... of panic?
Get ready for a true story that's less about little green men and more about mass hysteria so gloriously derpy, it turned a quiet Sunday evening into an international comedy of errors! We're talking about the infamous 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast – a prime example of how a seemingly innocent source can unleash utterly unexpected chaos.
Imagine tuning into your radio, settling in for the night, only to suddenly hear news reports so terrifying, so incredibly convincing, that you genuinely believe Earth is being invaded by Martians! We'll dive into the widespread, mind-boggling panic that swept across multiple states, as ordinary citizens frantically prepared for an alien apocalypse.
This is the unbelievably funny, deeply human tale of how Orson Welles accidentally triggered a unique and significant psychological calamity, demonstrating the sheer, unadulterated power of media... and the spectacular ways we can collectively lose our minds.
Prepare for the ultimate case of "you had to be there" (or at least, think you were there)!
