Halloween History - And the Art of Fake News
On the morning of Oct. 31, 1938, American newspapers coast-to-coast ran headlines describing the mass panic resulting from a CBS radio broadcast the previous night.

Phone calls to radio stations, newspaper offices, and the police convinced many that the broadcast caused a national hysteria.

In all of pop culture history, this is one of the most fascinating and bizarre stories you will ever hear. 11/01/2023 23:00
