A staged reenactment is not the same as a Phony Newscast. A reenactment is a documentary technique, staging a true story for the camera. A Phony Newscast uses the newscast format to tell a fictional narrative.

For a few days before the event, they planted small stories in the paper about unusual phenomenon being observed on Mars. The result was incredible - the invasion story was believed on a massive scale. When the deception was revealed, those fooled turned angry and set fire to the building that housed both the newspaper and radio station. Emergency responders did not arrive until much later - because they had been dispatched to the out-of-the-way location of the supposed alien landing. Six people died (including Páez's girlfriend) and many more were injured, either in the fire, trying to escape the fire, or at the hands of an angry mob. Páez managed to escape unharmed, but he effectively became a wanted man and left the country, never to return.

A 60-minute radio drama that is the most (in)famous broadcast in the history of American radio.
When Creator/OrsonWelles needed to come up with a HalloweenEpisode for the October 30, 1938 broadcast of his Creator/{{CBS}} radio program ''Radio/TheMercuryTheatreOnTheAir'', he decided to adapt Creator/HGWells' 1898 novel ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' to a contemporary American setting. Rather than staging a regular radio play like all of the previous ''Mercury Theatre'' broadcasts, for this episode the program aired what seemed like a regular night of music, until reports came over the air of strange phenomena on the surface of Mars and what appeared to be meteorites landing in locations across America...
By the time large alien tripods emerged from the cylindrical "meteorites" and began destroying the American countryside, many listeners believed that a bona fide AlienInvasion was taking place, and a nationwide panic ensued. Or so the UrbanLegends say, at least. Later research indicates there was little to no actual panic and the [[http://mssv.net/realityart/wotwemails.html breathless reports that ran in the next day's newspapers]] were an attempt by said newspapers both to sell more papers and discredit radio--see NewMediaAreEvil below. However, the story's more complex than that. What people believed and continue to believe ''about'' the broadcast is as important as the fact that people believed the broadcast itself. The legend of this program has become part of American folklore.
