Heathers (30th Anniversary Edition)

Description

A cult-classic in the truest sense of the term, (it grossed only 1 million at the box office), Heathers stars a 15-year-old Winona Ryder, who is enjoying a notable return of her own on the immensely popular Stranger Things series. Ryder's agent at the time famously begged on her knees for Ryder to pass on the role. The dark comedy which pits a powerful high school clique against a murderous sociopath also features Christian Slater in one of his first major roles and a pre-Beverly Hills 90210, Shannen Doherty.

Discovered by a legions of fans on cable TV and at video rental stores, the success of Heathers took a decidedly unexpected turn as a musical in the most recent decade. Multiple theatrical productions based on the movie have played in New York, London and beyond. In 2014, the World Premiere Cast Recording for Heathers: The Musical sold 100,000 copies in the United States alone. The Original West End Cast Recording of Heathers: The Musical released earlier this year. Heathers has also returned to the small screen in the form of a brand new TV show on the Paramount Network, that includes Doherty among its cast members.

From Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia, 30th anniversary screenings have been playing to packed houses around the globe. Varese Sarabande Records is proud to play a part in this enduring legacy by rereleasing David Newman's score to the original Heathers soundtrack on "very" neon green vinyl, complete with new notes and quintessential images from the film.
