** Also, the casting of Sweeney Todd himself varies from actor to actor - George Hearn's Todd is [[Boisterous Bruiser|powerfully built, with a boisterous,]] pitch-black sense of humor. [[Laughing Mad|His cackles]] after his [[Heroic BSOD]] (Or [[Villainous Breakdown]] / [[Villainous BSOD|BSOD]] in this case) song end up matching Mrs. Lovett's [[Stepford Smiler]] evil. [[Johnny Depp]]'s Todd is a waif of a man. He's a quiet, haunted misanthrope ''before'' he snaps, and a barely-functional sociopath after, having to be led around and prodded into action by [[The Dark Chick|Dark]] [[Genki Girl]] Mrs. Lovett.

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: ''The Ballad of Sweeney Todd'', ''Epiphany'', and ''A Little Priest'', just to name a few. Well... really the entire song list (given the right cast) but bonus points go to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pDa9QEJrQQs#t=130s ''Johanna Reprise''].

* [[Complete Monster]]: Judge Turpin definitely, and probably the Beadle as well. Lovett [[Moral Event Horizon|debatably becomes this too.]]
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Sweeney definitely crosses it when he kills {{spoiler|his wife Lucy}} and later finds out what he's done and {{spoiler|feels heavy regret}}. This implies that he's shown heavy regret for his actions and the end {{spoiler|reveals how much suffering he has felt throughout the film.}}

* [[Ear Worm]]: Just ''try'' to get ANY of the songs out of your head after viewing the theater or movie version. It's bloody impossible (but delightfully so).

* [[Evil Makeover]]: Sorta, or something. When Todd and Mrs. Lovett take Toby under their wing, Toby starts to get some characteristics from them, mostly the untamed hair and some eyebags and very pale skin.
