About a decade before the 1953 film War of the Worlds, Ray Harryhausen created possible test footage for a possible film based off of Well's popular science fiction novel. Matching Well's description, the aliens resembled octopi that could breath on land, also in the footage, the aliens received the extinction, because of an Earth's virus. Ray Harryhausen never managed to create the actual film, but instead animated another film based off of another Well's novel, First Men in the Moon.
