They say Christmas is all about giving, which is why we’re so excited about showing you the latest video from The Weaver Twins.
If you thought their ‘horse-headed man wondering around Paignton’ video was mental, wait til you gedda load of this!
Filmed in Galmpton, Torbay, the Ugly Children promo is described by the band as ‘a bit like Stand By Me meets The Blair Witch Project meets The Lord of the Flies’ – though we’re feeling it’s more reminiscent of recent French shocker Ils (Them).
Anyhoo, it’s the first in a proposed trilogy of Weaver Twins videos directed by Darren Jones. He’s the one playing the treacle-covered ‘Treedophile’ in the promo. The sick puppy.
Hullo...

Darren told D+CFilm that the next video will have a linear story and ‘feature an 80-year-old woman and her young boyfriend kidnapping residents of Stoke Gabriel with a bit of a dark twist at the end. Think Harold and Maude on acid!’
Hey, we can’t wait! In the meantime, click below to watch Ugly Children. Suffice to say, there’s not a brat singing ‘Christian rhyme’ to be seen. Merry Christmas everybody! Ho ho bloody ho!
