In 1997, Aphex Twin released 'Come to Daddy' and traumatized an entire generation of late-night MTV viewers.
Directed by Chris Cunningham in 1997, the video for Aphex Twin’s \*"Come to Daddy"\* remains a masterclass in uncanny, surreal horror.
The nightmare sequence—complete with identical creepy children wearing Richard D. James’ distorted face and a demonic figure birthing itself out of a TV set—pushed the boundaries of what was allowed on television at the time. MTV restricted it to late-night airings only, which only added to its legendary urban myth status among late-90s kids.
Nearly 30 years later, the practical effects and atmospheric tension hold up ridiculously well without feeling dated.
Fun fact:
It was filmed on the very same London housing estate where Stanley Kubrick shot "A Clockwork Orange"
