Winona Ryder's agent tried to keep her from doing this movie, telling her it would be the end of her career, and now it's one of her most iconic roles and a legitimate cult classic.

Fun fact if no one else has said it: JD said the guns they used on Kurt and Ram were filled with “ich lüge bullets,” “ich lüge” is German for “I’m lying”

This movie was a whole commentary on society at the time. Suicide was such a taboo no one would talk about it. After Heather dies you see Veronica's parents just being like "So do you have a date for the prom?" No one was taking it seriously or worried about their kids

The ending to Heathers is a direct contrast to J.D’s father and mother. His father blew up a building with the woman he loves in it, JD tried to blow up a building but ended blowing himself up instead of the woman he loves in a way to express his love.

[@cassiescorner2906]

RIP Heather 1, Kim Walker, who sadly died of a brain tumour in 2001.

[@Jades_editss]

RIP, she was a great person in real life

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

The reason you didn't know about Shannen Doherty's red hair is that it's dyed. She was meant to dye it blonde to match the other two Heathers, but she wouldn't, so they let her dye it red. It seems to have started a tradition in the musical, too, where Heather Duke has dark hair and Chandler and McNamara are fair. In my fanfics, I tend to write Chandler as a strawberry-blonde, McNamara as golden-blonde and Duke as dark-haired. Veronica is always a brunette, no matter what. Funnily enough, I did write a fanfic using characters from a different fandom, and the girl standing in for Heather Chandler had gorgeous long black hair, while the Heather Duke character had shoulder-length brown hair. Needless to say, the red scrunchie didn't quite look as good on her.

[@Lo0serx3]

@@strawberrysoulforever8336 what fandom was the fic for? 👀

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

@Lo0serx3 Total Drama. Heather Duke was played by Courtney. Unfortunately, it was after the reboot and a lot of people pointed out that Julia would have been a better choice, but I'd had this idea back in January before the reboot aired. Ironically, Julia took the minor role of Country Club Courtney.

[@NeshaTiara]

You should totally listen the Heathers musical / watch it if you can find it! its a great adaptation that gives the backstory to Veronica joining the Heathers! Also, the actress of Heather Chandler, Kim Walker, says the line "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?' which is so sad now because she died of a brain tumor at 31 :(

It’s crazy that this movie came out before the school shootings started happening. I remember watching this and thinking that it was crazy and improbable, but then it wasn’t. It sort of changes the perspective of his character because it adds an unintended element of realism.

So the actress who played red Heather actually died very young of a brain tumor, ironic because one of her iconic lines is “did you have a brain tumor for breakfast”

[@thereellifewithjenniferwoods]

First watched this movie around 1992 or 1993 when I was way too young to be watching it. But it was on TV, and my parents weren't home. Spent the next several years on a mission to get the whole thing on videotape. That's a story in and of itself. Love hearing people's thoughts on it, whether serious or mocking or somewhere in between. The girl you said had an amazing face but you didn't recognize? That was Kim Walker. Sadly, she died of a brain tumor young, several years after that famous line of hers about a brain tumor for breakfast. She played the Heather who died. I only know her from this movie.

I feel like Christian Slater is doing a bit of a Jack Nicholson impression here, and kinda keeps doing it for the rest of his career 😅 He's also very unhinged in the extremely dark comedy Very Bad Things (with Daniel Stern, Jeremy Piven, Cameron Diaz, and John Favreau). Or try the tamer ladies version - Rough Night (with ScarJo & Zoe Kravitz)

Christian Slater in Heathers was the beginning of my attraction to toxic men up until Tate in American Horror Story. Looking back it's a little horrifying how attracted to them I was lol.

[@PutKassOnTv]

I’m technically “too young to watch this movie” but I know that the musical justifies some stuff, (I think) and I feel like it justifies some of the suicide. Like the one song “shine a light, reprise” is heather duke telling heather Mc (or Mac I dont remember) to kill herself. and it could be seen as ‘unnecessary’ but I think in modern day it really lines up with people or yourself saying “you should kill yourself,” and “you don’t deserve the dream” and then you try to do it, and then that ONE person OR thing that saved you, aka, Veronica.
