  My father was 3 years old when the radio show was broadcast. He was so young. No wonder I didn't hear about it until I was an adult. My father was so young.

  If we have been to the moon, why is it so hard to go back? Radiation belts, that protect Earth from debris, are too strong for a man to survive going through them. This is why we can't go back, so where were these radiation belts in 1968?

  It's astonishing how many believed the War Of The Worlds broadcast, it's possibly the most famous.  I wasn't there so I don't know the effect or whether I'd have believed it if I missed the announcement.  'Chinese whispers' created the so called 'panic'

  This documentary highly doubts the ability of liars and how easy it is to get folks to go along with something… 🤷🏽‍♂️ especially how gullible the forties, fifties and sixties public was!

  I was outside, in 1969, I haven't seen an explanation of what I saw that day. I mean, by the people that say we didn't go. They explain a lot of other things.

  Man, there’s an old B horror movie with Newman from Seinfeld and the old short lady from Poltergeist, it’s called Anguish. Not a great movie by any means, but one particular part scared the 💩 out of me as a teenager. Not a jump scare per se, or nothing gory. I don’t want to give it away if you wish to check it out, but a particular scene where the mother is hypnotizing the son, had me feeling like something was coming from the screen straight at me. And just like the old train movie story, I literally yelled and tried running away from it. No other movie has provoked a reaction from me quite like it.<br><br>Edit: it’s not Newman from Seinfeld, it’s Michael Lerner. But you really can’t blame me for mixing those two up 😂

  The history of the radio show. The War of the Worlds. Gets me every time. I hear about it. Orson Welles! Did a good job. H.G. Wells did . Writing the book. It is a good story. Then when movies were new. People were thinking the tran was coming towards them. True or not. Great marketing tip. To get people to come see it.

  I feel so bad for the people who tuned in late to the war of the world&apos;s broadcast, I can&apos;t imagine the horror not realising it wasn&apos;t real 😭😅
