Orson Welles' 1938 radio dramatization of "The War of the Worlds" caused widespread panic among listeners who believed the fictional account of a Martian invasion was a real news broadcast. The realistic portrayal and timing, just before Halloween, led many listeners to believe the events being described were truly happening. It highlighted both the power of radio to influence audiences and the gullibility of some listeners in not recognizing it as fiction.
