The Phantom Ghoul's House Of Eldritch Horrors Presents Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1936 film)

From http://en.wikipedia.org The film features Tod Slaughter in one of his most famous roles as barber Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd was wrongly sentenced to life in prison. After his release 15 years later, he begins to plan his revenge, and re-opens his barber shop. Todd has a deal with meat-pie maker Mrs. Lovett to provide fillings for her meat pies. Using his charm and tonsorial skills, Todd lures wealthy, respectable customers into his Fleet Street barber shop, where he settles them into a mechanical barber's chair which dumps them head-first down into the basement, ready to have their throats cut with a straight-edge, razor-sharp blade if the fall does not kill them first. Mrs. Lovett then bakes their flesh into her pies. Todd is ironically killed by his own hand...starting the shop on fire setting his trap floor into motion at the end of the film.
