This source provides information and supports my thesis behind Alien monsters. This article published in the Arizona republic reports after the 2001 terrorist attacks of the world trade center, the popularity of Alien invasion films are on a rise. Films such as the remake of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, (A story I used for my Primary Source.) Invaders on Mars ect. are the images that play out of our current fears.

This source recounts the 1938 fake radio broadcast Orson Wells played on Halloween night that sent the world into a hysteria. Orson broadcasted that we were being attacked by aliens. Orson Wells used H.G. Wells' novel War of the World, but modernized it. Setting the Invasion in New York and New
Jersey. This Souce included the accounts that came along with this "joke" and the thought of aliens actually being millitary invasions and thought of a war outbreak.


The War of the Worlds. Dir. Steven Spielberg. Paramount Pictures.2005. DVD.

This is a film I used as a source. This film is the remake of H.G. Wells novel. This movie potrays the similar fears of alien invaders Wells' wrote about in his novel, only in this film it shows images that can be compared to the 9/11 attack. I use this source to illistrate how Wells' novel and veiw of aliens impact our world today in regard to war and technology and unkown.
