Orson Welles has been known for many things in his life, but radio was his first big success, and in the late 1930’s his Mercury Theater performed a number of audio adaptations of classic literature and novels. Welles’ version of “The War of The Worlds” was broadcast 77 years ago, and once you listen to this recording, you’ll know why it caused such a panic, and why it is a Halloween tradition. #HalloweenSpooktacular2015.
