When I first read about the Sweeney Todd Movie, I immediately remember a Discover article I read a few years back. The science magazine had an article on various serial killers, including the story about a barber and his baker girlfriend killing clients and then cooking them and feeding them to the masses in the processed shape of a paté. Reading the wikipedia page on Sweeney Todd, the consensus there seems to be that the Sweeney Todd character is fictional. So... let's assume that it may not be real horror, but its still a great idea for a movie.
Directed by Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street stars Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd, Helena Bonham Carter as Sweeney's evil chick Mrs. Lovett, Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin and Sacha Baron Cohen as Signor Adolfo Pirelli. The movie is an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical thriller "Sweeney Todd. To be honest, I am not too sure about the horror musical thing, but there is no doubt in my mind that the blood splattering and the rarely-miss-an-opportunity-to-be-part-of-a-great-project cast and director will make this a bloody superb movie... or at least, an entertaining one.
It hits theatres December 21, and I will be there 
In the meantime, follow the link to the Sweeney Todd website for the trailer and others cool features, such as "Meatpie Ecards" and a "Cut you own trailer" feature. See the Sweeney Todd Clips I cut below: Priest, Contest, Epiphany.
