Ray Harryhausen War of The Worlds Test Footage

Ray Harryhausen War of The Worlds Test Footage
The 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds sent listeners everywhere into a panic. This clip is from what would have likely been an amazing epic sci-fi film. Sadly,a film that never was.

Stop-motion animation master Harryhausen brought Wells’ vision to life. A slimy Martian with bulging eyes, a slobbering beaked mouth and “Gorgon groups of tentacles”. You can check it out in this 16 mm test reel. You can see right away that this would have been another Ray Harryhausen masterpiece. Sadly the project went in another direction. Oh, if only we could have seen Ray’s vision.

The Great Martian War: CGI Martians Invade WWI Footage

This video clip will make you believe that the Martians invaded during WWI. It is that good. Of course we all know that that never happened. Last year the History channel aired a mockumentary about the “Great Martian War” of 1913-1917. The videos of the battles are the best part, which places War of the Worlds type aliens in real footage from World War I.

Directed by Christian Johnson and Steve Maher. This is a fun take on alternate history.
