Music video
According to Japanese Vogue, the video for "Don't Shoot Me Santa" was directed, edited, and co-produced by actor/director/model/visual artist Matthew Gray Gubler, who is also a native of Las Vegas.The music video starts in a desert with a puppet version of Flowers and a puppet version of Santa in a puppet theater in Santa's trailer. Then, Santa pops up to say his part "I've got a bullet in my gun!" It goes to Flowers tied up in a chair with Christmas tree trimmings and Santa running around him. Later on, Flowers is tied up in Santa's car with Santa driving. It then goes back to Santa's trailer with Flowers still tied up in a chair watching Santa dig up his grave. The band comes up behind 3 small trees, breaks the trimmings, and escapes in Santa's car, trailing him behind. Santa ends up covering up Flowers's puppet, and goes to the band holding up a sign saying, 'Merry Christmas from The Killers'.
