For their single ‘Here With Me’, The Killers turned to acclaimed Hollywood director and Pleasure Beach fan Tim Burton. Blackpool was chosen as the location for the darkly surreal video, with several scenes shot at the park.

The video stars Craig Roberts and Winona Ryder who are seen in various locations in town and at the park. Scenes were shot at the Horror Crypt, Big One, Big Dipper and Coasters restaurant.

There are lots of different ways to interpret this video … watch it for yourself and make up your own mind!

The video begins in the magnificent Tower ballroom where the band are performing.
The action cuts to the park and the Horror Crypt, with a throng of fans seeking to meet the character played by Winona Ryder. Knowing the 'real' locations, it's difficult to know if buildings that are unrelated are supposed to be related in the video.
The obsessed fan, played by Craig Roberts, pays his entrance fee at the venue (actually the Tower Dungeon cash desk).
The action cuts to central beach. The Tower is undergoing its multi-million pound refurbishment instigated when the attraction was purchased by Blackpool Council. The young man is carrying a wax statue of the female character.
The Big One and Ice Blast can be seen in the background as he walks along the foreshore.
Although perhaps not obvious for viewers unfamiliar with the park, the character carries the figure through the Big One 'cans'/tunnel. The track can just about be seen at the bottom of the shot.
Walking down the River Caves ramp with the Big Dipper and Infusion in the background. The Bowladrome can be seen to the left.
The park's most well known bench gains additional heads.
The Lucky Star amusements are seen, now the Velvet Coaster Wetherspoon pub, named after the park's famed side friction coaster of 1909.
Five Winona Ryders ... in the park's Coasters restaurant. It had recently been transformed after being known as 'Coopers' for one season.
The obsessed fan sees them through the window from the restaurant through to the Big Dipper station.
He reveals himself to be wax ...
... and they celebrate.
