Prepare for an out-of-this-world experience this Saturday, February 28, as Svengoolie presents the 1953 sci-fi masterpiece, The War of the Worlds! Watch in awe as H.G. Wells’ legendary tale of Martian invasion comes to life with groundbreaking special effects that still dazzle today. Marvel at the events, from the mysterious crash in the California hills to the arrival of the iconic war machines. These heat-ray-blasting machines define this Oscar-winning classic. It is a must-watch for any fan of vintage cinema. Of course, the broadcast wouldn’t be complete without Svengoolie’s signature segments. These include pun-filled commentary and fascinating behind-the-scenes trivia. There are also plenty of flying rubber chickens to keep the alien tripod terror in check. Be sure to tune in to MeTV for a night of interplanetary peril—earthly survival is not guaranteed, but a good time certainly is!
