Product Description
VOTED NUMBER ONE BEST PARANORMAL DOCUMENTARY OF 2008. Children Of The Grave: (Spooked TV) Produced and Directed by Philip Adrian Booth and Christopher Saint Booth (The Booth Brothers) NOW ON DVD. This the highly-anticipated follow-up to the Booth Brothers 2006 documentary Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium. This haunted Indie film is one of the finest that I have seen in many years. And so like its predecessor this film delivers more non-stop chills from the very first frame. Many thought the Booth's could not top Spooked The Ghosts Of Waverly Hills Sanatorium their first paranormal documentary outing, but in truth they have surely surpassed it. Many herald The Booths work as a new breed of great paranormal TV to explore. The Booth's unique camera perspective and fantastic direction, editing and score are part of the haunted magical mind's eye that they possess collectively. It is "The Must See" of all that is haunted! More then just a cut above the rest it sets a new standard that many will find hard to reach. This movie is now what I would call a Paranormal Classic Indie Film! WARNING: GHOST CHILDREN AT PLAY. Now On DVD

 heartbreaking September 6, 2008
The tortured souls of children erased from our society in this country will forever scar my heart. This is history hidden from the public and rightly so, for it shows our inhumanity. Sorry for the other viewers who watched the program but did not see except in the most shallow sense. Anyone with a heart who listens to this documentary will be changed forever.

It was not good at all. I recommened "Spooked" over this DVD. It just was not done very well. It is a waste of money to buy.

After I saw this movie on Sci-Fi, I knew I had to have it! It's a well put together documentary in the field of paranormal studies. With the included research of "Zombie Road", I have known a couple of people that have "experienced" some of the shadow people or children from that area. If you're into ghost hunting or paranormal research this documentary should be in your video library. It delivers a shocking TRUTH about early America in the days before the depression and during. Look at how the children were treated, its little wonder why these "little" spirits still haunt these orphanages and their graves. Unable to find the solace they lost in live.

As Entertainment? Yes. As a Factual Paranormal Document? Probably not. June 3, 2008

I watched this film last night and let me start by saying this: I think it's very likely that there are ghosts, hauntings, etc., but I am a very "skeptical believer". Back in the late 1800's, during the big "Spiritist" movement, tables were being rocked and floated, seances produced phantom images and voices "from beyond", ectoplasm squiggled into the air from the noses and mouths of "mediums", and about all of it was exposed as fraudulent. These days people are, again, pretty enthusiastic about ghosts and hauntings and speaking with their departed loved ones through some show-biz personality who reels them in like brook trout. The big difference between the old fashioned hoaxters of 130 yrs ago and the new breed of "Ghost Hunters" is that the toys and technology are phenomenal in these times. We can do literally anything we want with film and imaging now in the digital age and one would be hard pressed to discern the "real from the reel".
I saw an error in one of the pictures shown - supposedly a police photograph - depicting a room in a delapidated building in which Satanic rituals had supposedly taken place. There is a Sigil of Baphomet (the pentagram with the goat face and a double circle around it with Hebrew characters in the circumference) and it is a perfectly detailed representation which was certainly not hand painted onto the wall and it was doctored to look "bloody". It was very OBVIOUSLY superimposed on the photo to look as though someone had painted it on the wall. These kinds of cheap tricks cast doubt on everything they did and, sadly, cast doubt on everything everybody else does as well. The "Baby gets thrown out with the bath water" for most people, just like the Spiritist Movement back in the late 1800's.
After having a night to sleep on it, I don't believe the photos OR the EVGs were authentic. I think at BEST they were digitally altered to appear and sound like much more than what they actually were. These guys obviously read the reviews of people who watched the "Spooked" dvd and used the critiques offered by them to tweak this one, giving them more of what they wanted. I understand they are not welcome at Waverly Sanitarium any longer for misrepresentation of the historical account. There are scores of competent, serious paranormal investigators out there who wouldn't dream of compromising the integrity of their work, who use the same advanced equipment as the Booths and NO ONE ever gets the kind of evidence concocted for this film. That spooky pic of the shadow children on the hilltop looking down at them was cool, but just a bit over the top for my belief structure.
I enjoyed the film for the atmosphere, the historical significance of the orphanages and the lost children in them, the shots of the buildings and graveyards, and such, but - do I believe that everything they presented to be authentic documentation and untampered with? Hell no. I see the Booth brothers as show biz people. They are a couple guys who are in the privileged position of having the wherewithal by which to indulge in their hobbies to a fantastic degree. As entertaining as it is, I have a fair share of disdain for people who bastardize the efforts of others who are working hard to prove and validate the belief in ghosts, spirits, and hauntings. Guys like the Booths and their ilk (i.e. about anything on television) muddy the water for those honestly seeking the truth in these matters.
Watch it...eat popcorn and light candles - it's fun and great entertainment. Just don't buy into the hoax.

The Children of the Grave presents shocking aspects of American history regarding the treatment of orphans. I personally didn't find the movie scary (until the Zombie Road segment) and found the background music distracting and annoying. It would have been nicer to see more paranormal research and less acting. All in all tho, it's a great way to spend an evening.
