On October 30, 1938 “The War of the Worlds” was performed as a Halloween episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. Directed and narrated by Orson
Welles, this adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic shocked much of the country into believing
that an alien attack as described in the radio play was real.

This October 30th, on the 70th anniversary of the original broadcast, WSKG-TV and Radio will re-enact this classic broadcast live from our Vestal Studios. Local actors including Bill Gorman and WSKG radio personalities will perform the play from the original script. All sound effects and musical interludes will be reenacted live to cue just as the original radio drama was performed and directed by Orson Welles 70 years ago. Viewers will be able to see and hear exactly how the drama was constructed to a terrified America in 1938. Experience the panic Thursday, October 30 at 8 PM.

WSKG’s The War of the Worlds 70th anniversary broadcast will air
Thursday, October 30 at 8:00pm on WSKG-TV and simulcast on WSKG-FM.
