What happened when aliens invaded New Jersey?

What happened when aliens invaded New Jersey?

This week on Killers, Cults and Queens, Nikki and Cheryl dive into one of the most notorious hoaxes in modern history... the War of the Worlds broadcast. When Orson Welles took to the airwaves in 1938, a simple radio drama turned into a national panic. How did a fictional invasion cause real world chaos? Would you have fallen for it? And what were the lasting consequences of a stunt that blurred the line between entertainment and fear? Nikki and Cheryl investigate the truth behind the broadcast that shocked America.
