I first saw _Heathers_ the summer before my freshman year of high school,  
which would be 1990, on cable TV..I was mesmerized by the movie,  
particularly this incredibly dark and yet sympathetic character of Jason  
Dean. 
My favourite Hallowe'en costume for a while was Jason Dean..for a while  
there I had boyishly short dark hair and would just gel that into place, put  
on a long black coat, apply bruise makeup and stage blood to my face(I was  
doing one of his final scenes), wrap my hand in a bandage liberally doused  
in stage blood (taking care to keep the middle finger in set position) and  
sally forth in that getup in my high school on Oct 31. I'd also wear a black  
t-shirt I could imagine J.D. wearing (the Sid Vicious one usually won out)  
and blue jeans..oh and the bomb. I should mention the bomb. 
The bomb was made with the help of my mother..it was essentially a thick  
rectangle of styrofoam covered with black construction paper with red felt  
"buttons" and a digital readout made with paper and markers. Little  
cylinders of epoxyglue stick (the dynamite) were glued to the side of the  
"bomb" and covered with more construction paper. Finally, "wires" were added  
connecting the bomb to the "dynamite" (I'm not sure what we used..some kind  
of thick cord, like floral wire). All this was attached to a belt I tied  
around my waist over my shirt and under my coat. 
The first take on this costume was for a Hallowe'en party I was throwing, so  
we had removable paper readouts..as the party progressed I'd surreptiously  
tear off the readouts so every once in a while someone would notice that the  
time had decreased. The last readout read a few seconds to go--after someone  
noticing this, I excused myself hastily from the room and into the hallway  
and a pre-recorded "explosion" noise was set off on a gadget I had for that  
purpose. My mother would cheerfully announce that since J.D. had blown up,  
it was time to serve the cake. I'd wander out a bit later out of  
costume...Yes you're right, my mother is a great womon and yes I love her  
very much. 
The reactions at school were great..I'll never forget the occasional shouts  
of "Greetings and salutations" as I'd walk down the hall, as well as trying  
to explain the costume concept and movie to my less-than-thrilled  
vice-principal, trying to explain that the movie did not actually _condone_  
teen suicide or murder, it was just _about_ these things..and I will never  
forget winning "Best Media Costume" at a fantasy/scifi/generalfandom  
convention for the getup (it was just some movie posters--Batman Returns and  
Cool World--and a Batman Returns T-shirt, but still). And I owe it all to  
this sick, wonderful little movie. 
Oh yeah, and Mom. :)

when i was a kid i saw legend of billie jean.  there i fell in love w/. 
christian slater, and his sister, helen became my idol.  later i saw 
heathers.  heathers is my fav movie cuz i love christian and it's witty as 
hell.  now i'm no longer in love w/. christian, just jd.  i saw very bad 
things & it sucked, but i did feel a little bit of jd buzz.  i also think 
it's sort of weird how chris, does a lot of movies w/. suicide elements. 
how very!  i'm also doing my own heathers website.  i'll send you the site 
eventually. 
                                                        got to motor, 
p.s. i'm about to pop a ham & cheese in the mic, and feast on a turbo dog. 
i'm still bickering over whether to have a cherry or coke slushi. 
hmmm, tequilla's better, i guess. 
p.p.s. now i love veronica & all, but who wouldn't kill for jd, eh? 
 

ALRIGHT, 
THE MOVIE IT WAS GREAT. I'VE WATCHED IT,......MORE TIMES THAN I SHOULD HAVE. I LOVE CHRISTIAN SLATER. ESPESIALLY WHEN HE PLAYS AN EVIL CHARACTER. BUT I ALSO LIKED HIM IN BED OF ROSES AND UNTAMED HEART.  I RELATE TO JD BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME AND I CAN THINK OF THINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND. I AM THE ULTIMATE CHRISTIAN SLATER FAN. ARS YOU SICK AND DERANGED? GO TO THE SUICIDE 
NOTE...UH...PETITION AND FIND MY ADDRESS, WE CAN TALK. I HAVE NO FRIENDS AND I RARELY GO ANYWHERE. 
 

I first saw Heathers four years ago and I thought that it was great. One of my favorite things about the film was the character with the jet black hair, hazel eyes, Jack Nicholson voice, and a James Dean attitude...JD. I couldn't keep my eyes off him the entire film and I kept wanting to see it over over again. During my summer vacation I watched the film at least 5 times a day  and after three days,  I memorized the entire script. After that, I visited every Christian Slater and Heathers web site on the net, collected pictures like mad, made one of the best Heathers sites on the net, became co-moderator of the best Heathers mailing list, and became friends with over 60 Heathers fans. So if you've never seen this film, what's your damage?!.

I too am a "Heathers" fan from way back. Although Veronica is my favorite character (I am a Nonian), I was astounded by Christian's performance as JD.  Funny and psychotic at the same time--who woulda thunk it?  It's actually quite true, he did steal the movie.  And got to date Noni after the movie.  What a lucky guy.

I don't really remember when I first saw Heathers, but it was on the German T.V. RTL and I really enjoyed  it although I don't speak their language. It was quite fun, trying to understand what was going on. But I watched it till the end and Christian Slater was the reason. He was fantastic in it. I saw a lot of his movies but  this one is my favourite. Since then I think I saw it 3 times and understand the lines at last.
