Today is the 71st anniversary of the original and greatest ever media hoax… Orson Welles reading H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds as if it were a live broadcast of real-time events.
In honor of that, many stations across the country are reairing his broadcast. It is also being aired at waroftheworldstribute.com. If you are interested in kicking it retro style tonight, you can tune into the online broadcast of this at 8PM ET which is 71 years to the minute that Orson Welles scared the shit out of a bunch of people.
