OMG. Found the whole thing. Follow me below the fleur-de-kos for it. But first:
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the murderer of the Victorian penny dreadful The String of Pearls (1846–47). He appeared in the British film, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1936). In 1973, he was introduced as an antihero when English playwright Christopher Bond retold the Victorian tale, which formed the basis of the 1979 musical and its 2007 film adaptation of the same name. Claims that Sweeney Todd was a historical person[1][2] are strongly disputed by scholars,[3][4][5] although possible legendary prototypes exist.[6]http://en.wikipedia.org/...
