MOOALLEM: How did Heathers happen?
RYDER: Heathers came around when I got the script from Michael McDowell, who wrote Beetlejuice. I read it before it went out to people and I freaked out. I called Michael Lehmann [the director], and I was like, “You don’t have to pay me. I just want to say these lines.” And at first they didn’t want me. It’s actually on the commentary for the DVD, which is kind of nuts. Dan [Waters, who wrote Heathers] and Michael are talking about casting me, and they say something like, “Remember how we didn’t think she was pretty enough?” But when I heard...

In the opening scene where the Heathers are playing croquet, Heather McNamara is wearing a wig.

Remember the geek that had молоко come out of his nose when Heather #1 looked right at him? Well the the producer сказал(-а) that the geek gave a very "De-niro-like" performance because he put gelatin capsules of молоко in each nostril, and they had to wait to shoot the scene until the capsules had melted a little and were ready to burst.
