What is "heathers"

Heathers is a 1988 American cult black comedy film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann. It stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty. The film portrays four teenage girls—three of whom are named Heather—in a clique at a fictional Ohio high school.

The film brought director Michael Lehmann and producer Denise Di Novi the 1990 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. Daniel Waters also gained recognition for his screenplay, which won a 1990 Edgar Award. Despite its high critical praise, the film was not a big hit in the box office but went on to become a cult classic, with high rentals and sales business. In 2006, it was ranked number 5 on Entertainment Weeklys list of the "50 Best High School Movies" and in 2008, it was ranked number 412 on Empires list of "The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time".

The film has been adapted into a musical and as of 2016 a television series was in pre-production.

Heathers are an indie pop act formed in 2007 in Dublin, Ireland by twin sisters Ellie and Louise Macnamara. They began writing music together in 2007 and in February 2008 recorded their debut album Here, Not There while preparing for their Leaving Certificate. The album was recorded in The Hive Studios in Kilcoole by Eoin Whitfield in a joint release between Irish Label Hide Away Records and US label Plan-It-X Records. The lead track from the album Remember When was used by the Irish Tourist Board in a major advertising campaign subsequently leading to the re-release of the album though Warner Music Ireland.

Heathers' second album Kingdom was an Irish Choice Music Prize nominated album and released in 2014 through Sony Music (Canada / US) and Warner Music (Europe / Asia). The lead single from the album: Forget Me Knots (It's Alright Not To Feel Ok) became a much used anthem in a number of mental health awareness campaigns in Ireland and internationally.
