After a period in the metaphorical woods where Burton didn't seem as engaged as his 80's, 90's work, he came roaring back with his bloodiest, darkest, most gothic movie yet, his musical adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's classic Sweeney Todd. Burton muse Johnny Depp plays the near mad, revenge obsessed barber Sweeney who returns to London after being unjustly imprisoned to wreck his revenge on the Judge (Alan Rickman) who tore apart his family. While he butchers, murders people, he gives them to loony Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham-Carter) to cook into her pies. A ferocious return to form, Sweeney Todd showed Burton still had misfit fury to burn. And the ending. . .well. . .prepare for one of the most devastating endings of any musical ever.

We continue our Tim Burton Spooky Spectacular marathon all day with three more Burton masterpieces on 35mm. (If you'd like to attend part or all of the day, make sure you get an all-day pass and save money).
