Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber - I polish 'em off, c1880. A customer falling through the trapdoor. Sweeney Todd's barber shop was a death trap for unwary customers in need of a shave. With the cry "Down you go!", his barber's chair would swing into the floor - sending his victims crashing down to the cellar below.
