Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in Newcastle Castle

This Halloween, you're invited to enjoy Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) in the Great Hall!

From the mind of Tim Burton, the genius behind Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, comes Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Starring Johnny Depp as the film's protagonist and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs Lovett, the musical slasher retells the melodramatic Victorian tale of Sweeney Todd, an English barber-turned-serial-killer seeking revenge on Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) who wrongfully convicted him and exiled him to steal his wife. When Sweeney Todd's customers start vanishing after their latest haircut, Todd's romantic accomplice Mrs. Lovett must help him hide the bodies... by processing their corpses into meat pies, ready for display in her shop window.
