The H.G. Wells orginal was A BOOK. Orson Wells dramatized it on the Mercury Theatre on radio in the 1930s. It was done as a radio drama (about something else entirely) which was repeatedly interrupted with "news bullitins" about the allien attack. That broadcast created a lot of panic on the part of listeners who bought into it. It resulted in several changes in FCC rules about such things, too. I was a little kid when the 1953 version was out in theatres and I remember being scared to go to sleep for quite some time after seeing it. Haven't seen the new one yet. Another scarey movie from that same era was called INVADERS FROM MARS. It got really spooky til the kid woke up and you found out it was only a dream. Weak ending, but lots of scary (to a nine year old) action back then.
