Drinking Games: Sweeney Todd

Posted by Kevin Carr (kevin@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 22, 2007

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is on his way into the cineplexes, and he’s ready to kill. It’s time to sit back, relax and eat a fine meat pie while watching Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd.

But what to drink during the film! That, of course, is your choice, but we can provide you with some suggestions as to when you should drink. Enjoy this game, and quite possibly this grim musical could become a comedy.

And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t get a shave from a guy who owns a shop above a meat-pie factory.
