Across the vast void, our world was envied by unsympathetic eyes...

#JoinTheTalk as Cult Talk Net and an ensemble voice cast bring H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds to life this Halloween season. An all new chilling and immersive adaptation in the style of Orson Welles’ quintessential 1938 Mercury Theater broadcast. Will humanity survive, or will Earth fall under the shadow of the Red Planet?

Martians launch a relentless invasion on an unsuspecting Earth in this special Cult Talk Net presentation. Adapted by Ty Alexander and Eric Zanni, in the tradition of Orson Welles' infamous 1938 broadcast. Featuring the voice talent of Eric Zanni as Dr. Dean Stanley, Jessica Griesheimer as Carol Phillips, Ty Alexander as Frank Campbell, and more, War of the Worlds blends suspenseful storytelling with atmospheric soundscapes designed by Michael Hinty. Prepare yourself for a haunting journey as Earth's last stand echoes in your ears.

Cultober began in 2021, our very first year of podcasting. We had originally envisioned it to include 13 reviews in 1 month around the 2 weekly podcasts running at the time. Once we realized the logistics, we scaled it back to 6 classics. Every Friday through October 2021, we release a special YouTube exclusive review, and what better way to kick things off than with the John Carpenter classic "Halloween" from 1978.

Episode originally released October 1st, 2021 to Youtube.com/CultTalkNet

Final Fridays will be a monthly addition to your podcast feed.
Every final Friday of the month, we will upload a Cult Talk Net classic episode from our YouTube Exclusive library here for the first time as a podcast!
