Christopher Saint Booth (born 19 February 1960),[1][2][better source needed] sometimes incorrectly referred to as Christopher David Booth,[3] is a British-Canadian-American filmmaker and musician who has made several documentaries on ghosts and exorcisms, often in collaboration with his identical twin brother, Philip Adrian Booth.[4] Together they directed several horror movies in the 2000s, with some notable actors, such as Matthew McGrory.
Originally from Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire, he moved to Canada in the 1970s.[5] He 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.[6][7] He performed several live shows with the band, but they broke up before releasing any music.[8] He and Philip also performed as a duo under the name Who's Who?.[7] After moving to Los Angeles in the 1980s, the brothers started working odd jobs such as production assistants. They licensed some of their songs to pornographic film producers. The experience inspired them to later make their own movies.[7]
One of their songs licensed to the pornography producers was later used in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.[7] It became a popular example of lostwave after a short snippet of the song was uploaded to WatZatSong 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.
