Christopher Saint Booth[a] and Philip Adrian Booth (both born 19 February 1960)[3][4][better source needed] are Canadian twin brother filmmakers and musicians who have made several documentaries on ghosts, haunted locations, and exorcisms.[5] Together they directed several horror movies in the 2000s, with some notable actors, such as Matthew McGrory.
Originally from Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire, they moved to Canada in the 1970s.[6] Christopher Booth replaced Bryan Adams as a vocalist of the band Sweeney Todd, in which his older brother John was the drummer and his twin Philip played guitar.[7][1] They performed several live shows with the band, but they broke up before releasing any music.[8] They also performed as a duo under the name Who's Who?.[1] After moving to Los Angeles in the 1980s, the brothers were low on money and started working odd jobs such as opening for Mötley Crüe and took the job of production assistants . They licensed some of their songs such as "Chemistry" to companies such as Disney for their made for TV film Double Agent released in 1987. To make ends meet, some of their songs even appeared in films made by pornographic film producers. Their experience during the miscellaneous jobs they took inspired them to later make their own horror movies in the 2000s.[1]
One of their songs licensed to the pornography producers was later used in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.[1] It became a popular example of lostwave after a short snippet of the song was uploaded to WatZatSong by a user named Carl92 in 2021 and the search for it became an Internet phenomenon.[9] In April 2024, the song was identified as "Ulterior Motives".[10][9]
Now first of all, I'm not sure why SOCAN has David in my name, 'cause I'm not David. So I'm going to have to reach out to them and say my name's not Christopher David, 'cause that's what they're doing.
