    Sci-Fi Channel Documentary about the War Of The World's radio show

    Does anyone remember this? I think I saw this somewhere in the early to mid 90s. It wasn't the movies about the making of this radio classic, it was people being interviewed who actually heard the program and thought it was real, and the reactions of the towns who heard it. I've never seen it again (I came in after it started), and I've been trying to find it, but I don't know what it was called.

    Can anyone help?

    Sorry, I never got Sci Fi back then ......

    On a side note...
    My mom heard the broadcast when it was live in 1938.

    She said she (and the whole family) knew it was fake from the start.

    They didn't listen to the whole thing because my grampa said it was "boring"

      You may be thinking of 'The day that panicked America', although it seems to have been made in 2005

        Uh...no...as I said, it's not the MOVIES based on the night the radio show premiered, (The Night America Trembled, The Night That Panicked America), it's a DOCUMENTARY, in which people who were alive at the time of that broadcast (or their descendants) tell their stories.
