A tribute for the classic Cure track "A Forest" with a live audio recording and edited footage, combined with clips from the 2007 Tim Burton film "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street".

Just in case they are alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off" (slitting their throats with his straight razor). In some adaptations, the murdering pr! ocess is reversed, with Todd slitting the throats of his customers before they are dispatched into the basement via the revolving trapdoor. After Todd has robbed his dead victims of their goods, Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime (in some later versions, his friend and/or lover), assists him in disposing of the bodies by baking their flesh into meat pies, and selling them to the unsuspecting customers of her pie shop.
