Wow, reading about your "War of the Worlds" experience reminded me of when I was little. My grandpa used to listen to old radio dramas all the time, and that one scared me silly! I remember hiding under the covers, convinced Martians were actually invading. We even imagined our beat-up, yellow Datsun was the only vehicle that could outrun them. Honestly, considering how slow it was, maybe we should have called it the Eggy Car! It definitely felt like the end of the world back then. l)
