  The boys kept predicting plot points left and right then dismissing it with "Nah, they would never do that." Followed up the most gruesome reveal ever. 😂😂😂

  "Pretty Women" is the sweetest song in the show, and yet because of the context, it also comes off as the most sinister.

  Everytime i see this movie i am stuck on the fact that when Sweeney kills his Wife - the whole family is reunited in a single room without knowing that.

  Boom not registering Ruff’s “I’d be a serial killer” line at first should not have been as funny to me as it was

  an amazing detail someone pointed out to me is that people in this movie bleed from the neck differently depending on if Sweeney Todd considers them "Alive" or not. his victims either spray blood everywhere or it runs down their neck mildly depending on what he thinks of them. Turpin was his MAIN target, so he gushed like a geyser and splattered all over the walls, but the random dudes he didn't care about sometimes just dribbled. importantly, Lucy and Sweeney himself both got the "runny" blood because Sweeney thought Lucy was dead the whole time, and Benjamin Barker is also long dead in his mind

  &quot;At last! My arm is complete again.&quot; when he holds the knife is still one of the best lines to me.

  Funny thing you mentioned Johanna possibly not being into Anthony. It&apos;s somewhat implied in a song that was deleted for time in the film that she is just desperately using Anthony to get away from her creepy abusive guardian and doesn&apos;t actually love him. Also the stage musical has a giant loud steam whistle that would sound off whenever Todd would commit murders as a kind of jumpscare for the audience.

  Johnny Depp got his start in the first Nightmare on Elm street. Wes Craven wasn’t going to hire him and then his daughter saw his faceshots and got a huge crush, Craven hired him because of that crush.

  I once had a conversation with someone who doesnt watch musicals like at all and they said to me &quot;I just dont like how cheery they are and how theres always a perfect ending&quot; and man the face they made when I explained how almost every really good musical has at least one death in it. I mean this is the prime example but then you have ones like Little Shop of Horrors, Les Miserables, Chicago, and Heathers have high body counts but even musicals you&apos;d think would be death free like Into the Woods, West Side Story, even the comedy musical Urinetown that most people dont know about. The ones that dont have at least one person getting got tend to be family musicals (Heck, even sometimes those arent exceptions cus lets be real even Disney musicals tend to count since they tend to axe the villains pretty brutally in the final acts but its okay cus theyre evil I guess?)
