Not as scary as in 1938, but still exciting and VERY interesting!!!5
I had never heard the full radio broadcast untill purchasing this CD, but it is VERY easy to see how this could have scared the Bee-jeebers out of America on Halloween, 1938. Get this CD and listen to it every Halloween (as I now plan to) and you'll see how interseting old time radio was. Especially when you consider the horror that was just beginning to build in Germany at the same time as the broadcast.
