The Halloween chat will correspond with a special Halloween episode of "The Visitor," airing on FOX at 8pm, which is an homage to the infamous Orson Welles radio broadcast "War of the Worlds," a tale of alien invasion and a theme with which Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (INDEPENDENCE DAY) have some experience. The webshow, which has been increasing its features since its inception in September, will unveil all its new assets and technologies including music utilizing Thomas Dolby's Beatnik plug-in, DHTML and many streaming audio and video formats on Halloween as well. Exclusive Halloween video footage from the set will also appear throughout the night on the fansite. The fansite is accessible from http://www.thevisitor.com.

"The Visitor," produced by the creators of "Independence Day," Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, follows the mysterious exploits of Adam MacArthur (John Corbett), an Air Force pilot who vanished over the Bermuda Triangle in 1947, only to return 50 years later without having aged at all. Equipped with heightened perceptions and abilities, he is relentlessly pursued by government and military agents. The webshow, thevisitor.com, which is sponsored and created with technology by Intel, features storylines and characters that parallel the series and allows users to join the agencies tracking The Visitor and to explore clues and other information supplied by the television or web episode.
