10 Horror Movie Killers We All Reluctantly Loved

10. Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd, the 2007 musical by Tim Burton, cannot really be considered as a straight horror movie despite the source material of people pies and a killer barber.

But then, Sweeney is a killer, no matter how much we sugar coat it. He bloodies up his barber shop and sends his victims to Mrs. Lovett to make some snacks.

The love for the man formerly known as Benjamin Barker is partly down to the performance of Johnny Depp - and his surprisingly decent singing voice - and partly his tragic backstory.

And fundamentally, there's just something about this hellish hairdresser that can charm anyone, especially the lowly pie shop owner below him.
