1988 NPR version

Did you know that the director of this 1988 version was none other than
Firesign Theatre co-founder David Ossman, AKA "Catherwood" in "Nick Danger,
Third Eye"?

He even won some awards for it, as I recall...

FYI, David is doing a new "live" local radio show ( KSER-FM (90.7) from his
home on Whidbey Island in Washington State, check www.firesigntheatre.com
for a link.


Press blurb:

"Live From the Island" will be co-hosted with his wife, Judith Walcutt, noon
to 2 p.m. Saturdays. The program will be broadcast from The Edgecliff on
South Whidbey Island and will feature local and visiting artists (for
example, the first program coincides with Django Fest on Whidbey Island).

Ossman says the program is based on the premise that "island culture is
distinct" from the big-city scene, and it will try to reflect the cultural
flavor of island life.

My friend and I listened to the 'War of the Worlds' show on WKBW-1520
Buffalo (now WWKB) when it was broadcast live for the first time. We
played a trick on his sister by acting like we thought it was all really
happening. She freaked out. It took us quite a while to calm her down
and explain that it was just a Halloween radio show. It made us realize
what the impact of the original broadcast by Orson Wells must have been
like.

I also saw the movie, in the early 1950s, in a drive-in theater no less. G

Yes, it was in color. The ends of the serpentine arms were cameras that looked
like a triune lens of the three basic colors.

I believe that idea came from the Crosley(?) color wheel that was used, I
believe, by CBS in the early days of color, before the RCA electronic scheme
was accepted.

Oh, and the actual critters were inside the machines.
