Film Screening and Discussion – The War of the Worlds (1953)

Join us to relive the infamous night in 1938 when Orson Welles narrated scenes from H.G. Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds over the radio, resulting in panic from American listeners who thought a Martian invasian was happening. We then screen the classic 1953 film based on the same novel and discuss whether this scare could happen today. What can we learn from the night that panicked America? Presented by Mark Daniels, science fiction cinema instructor and podcaster.
