About this episode

In 1938, with the world on the brink of war, Americans anxiously tuned their radios, fearing an attack from a foreign power. But on the night before Halloween, the most terrifying broadcast reported an invasion not from across the ocean, but from across the stars, as a chillingly realistic drama sent a nation into panic.
