Happy Halloween!

A little Halloween treat from 71 years ago today... :)

Thanks to Daily Kos' Bill in Portland ME for reminding me of this, and the Internet Archive (who, as fate would have it, have their offices here in my new neighborhood!) for having this available here for embedding as well as download.

This is one of the most brilliant events in radio history, IMO--if anything, listen between 15:00 and 20:00 for my favorite and creepiest parts...damn fine creative directing there!

They're doing a re-enactment of it at the Somerville Theater tonight, and got the town manager, who is widely loved and well known for his robo calls telling people to move their cars during snowstorms, to record a fake robocall about the invasion.
