Zero Hour by Ray Bradbury

Mink’s mother discusses blissfully Mink’s new game “alien invasion” she is playing with the other neighborhood children. When “zero hour” comes, Mother realizes what sounded like a harmless and imaginative children’s game is a real invasion by aliens from another dimension who befriend earth children to get information. For mother and father hiding in the attic, the realization comes too late…

Starts off with childlike bliss and ends creepier than you could ever imagine. Great story.

Adaptations:

Radio Drama

Ray Bradbury Theater (TV)
