Sweeney Todd’s style is very gothic and chic. He wears period style clothing due to the story being set in the 1800s, but with a modern gothic take on it. His face is very pale and the area around his eyes is red, giving him an almost ghostly look. This old-fashioned coat is very similar to the one Sweeney Todd wears. He has many layers on him, each in a very dark or shadowed color. Sweeney Todd, former Benjamin Barker, is a barber who is unjustly convicted by Judge Turpin, a man who wanted to take his family from him. Todd is exiled to Australia and after many years, he is able to return to London, seeking revenge against Turpin. He starts working as a barber again, but hate has invaded his entire soul and killing becomes an obsession. He murders his customers with a razor while his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett, bakes their flesh into meat pies. Sweeney Todd, played by Johnny Depp, was originally a man named Benjamin Barker. He was living a happy life with his wife and daughter as an English Barber in the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. An evil Judge, because of his desire for Benjamin Barker’s wife, falsely accused Benjamin Barker of committing a crime he did not commit. Benjamin’s Barker’s life was destroyed and he spent 15 years in an Australian prison. But finally, he escaped, barely recognizable. He took the name of Sweeney Todd. He vowed to avenge Judge Turpin, but every human he could get his hands on.
