Ray Bradbury Theater - Mars is Heaven part 1 

I reckon 'Mars Is Heaven' is probably the finest short sci-fi story ever written. It NEVER gets tired.

I love Ray Bradbury Theater. Great stories:)

Never get tired of this episode

I remember reading this part of "The Martian Chronicles" late at night. I was about 10 when i read it. Scared the hell out of me at the end of this story. :P

@fodsaks You are very right. The best sci fi short story ever written. It speaks so much to the human heart.

thank-you very much for uploading Ray Bradberry Theater

I first read this as part of the compilation "The Martian Chronicles." The end of the story was absolutely creepy the way it was written.

Loved the story. Great fan of Bradbury's theatre

This use to be. The horror channel miss it like mad it was the best show on horror Chanel

this is great thanks for the uploads

j just brought the box set all 65 eppisodes only 10 pounds,great stuff,great show,this and the twilight zone..

never realised how many works have this premise

this story is from the book'The Martian Chronicles'. i remember the teacher reading out loud some of the book to my class in elementray school. The Martians trick them, i guess using some kind of mind control.

This is really weird to watch because I’m used to the miniseries from around the same time, but it had different actors.

I love the ray Bradbury theatre

read the book this is my favourite one. The Martians are trying to fool the astronauts into thinking that they are in heaven. In the third expedition there is reference to Beautiful dreamer and also an old Scottish Singer called Harry Launder singing 'Roaming in the Glomin'.

Yes, I have them all on cassette too =P. They were recently just re-released in high quality mp3 on the Twilight Zone radio website. I wish they still made radio programs like that.

@ThoughtTraveler Thanks for this bit of trivia. I actually always thought the piano song in this episode sounded really similar to Beautiful Dreamer, I didn't know until now that it's a song that already existed.

@ma049 Yes, in the book this story is called "The Third Expedition".

Does anyone know the name of the 50s black and white version of this?

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience I would like to find out if this movie is subtitled in Castilian or Spanish, and if you do not mind where I could get from already thank you very much.

... it is the THIRD Expedition!

and since people are so totally different than they were even 15 years ago...

The Piano music played by Black's dead Mother is called "Beautiful Ohio"

They land a space shuttle on Mars? The space shuttle could not even get out of low Earth orbit. Oh well, maybe I am getting fixated on minor details. Yes, that's it. I need to just sit back and enjoy the show.

@Kevin107ish No, that would be Jack London.

Do you have the Chicago Abyss?

Hello and I write again to apologize for my ignorance, but I discovered that the subtitles are placed, but devo recognize you did not know

@Viz731 Same here lol scared the shit out of me actually!

right now they need Admiral Ackbar telling them: It's a trap!

@Destnn I really do not see how that has anything to do with anything I wrote but anyway,.. no, I'm 15

What's the piece playing at around 08:50?

as it turns out Mars is hell

This is a shorter version of the Martian Chronicles.

You would think that the Mars Mission landing team here would have some sort of common sense and intelligence. I do not profess to be the smartest man on the planet by any means. But if I was on a Martian Landing Team and dear old Grandma that died 13 years ago came up to me and tried to hug me I would think first off - HEY Martian Deception here!!!!! HELLO??? How weak minded is it to go off and get duped by these Martians because they disguised themselves as your long dead family members.

Lol, the N on NASA was covered up. It says ASA.. That sounds funny..

"People ask...where do I get my ideas from? Well, I steal most of them." I notice he doesn't talk about how he joined the Church of Scientology in the late 60s, either. Talked to Larry Niven about this in the 90s, basically asking "How could such a smart man fall for such an obvious con" and he just shook his head sadly....:)
