Tuning in Mars
The Martian invasion was heard round the world when Orson Welles broadcast a radio adaption of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds on October 30, 1938. There have been many productions since then but Welles' show is by far the most famous and infamous, since it caused true terror in the United States.
The Martian allure has grown even larger with Hollywood's help. Films such as Red Planet and Mission to Mars are installments in sci-fi celluloid. From the goofy to the terrifying, filmgoers have been traveling to the Red Planet since the early days of the film industry. It makes one wonder, did Martians invade Hollywood?
Below are some of the films to look for in your video store.
