Heathers (1989)
Cinema Shock Roulette
“What’s your damage, Heather?”
Our Roulette Extravaganza continues on this week's episode with a look at Michael Lehmann's 1989 cult classic HEATHERS!
Synopsis: A girl who halfheartedly tries to be part of the "in crowd" of her school meets a rebel who teaches her a more devious way to play social politics: by killing the popular kids.
In this deep dive into the making of HEATHERS, we'll trace the story back to screenwriter Daniel Waters' days working in a video store where he began writing his script, all the way through production, release and the re-discovery of this cult teen film.
