'The Night America Trembled' (1958) is a recreation of the Orson Welles/Mercury Theatre radio adaptation of 'The War of the Worlds' broadcast on October 30, 1938. An early docudrama making the most of its low budget thanks to a taut script, crisp direction and an incredible ensemble cast that includes Ed Asner, Warren Beatty, James Coburn, Vincent Gardenia, Frank Marth, Warren Oates, Alexander Scourby and, in an uncredited role, John Astin. The production was hosted by famed CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow, who provides historical context for the show. 'Lights Out: The Martian Eyes' is a terrifying episode from the classic TV horror series.
