Subliminal Persuasion to the Masses
On Oct. 30, 1938-the night before Halloween-Orson Welles and his radio troupe, the Mercury Theater of the Air, put on a radio adaptation of the H.G. Wells science fiction novel, "The War of the Worlds." Presented as if it were a newscast, the story of a deadly Martian invasion (beginning in the fictional Grover's Mill, New Jersey) was mistaken by many listeners to be true.Despite the fact that Welles interjected periodic explanations that this was only a radio play, the result was mass hysteria. Americans, mostly in the Northeast, armed themselves, hit the road, hid in basements, and essentially panicked.
