Heathers/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Death of Heather Chandler. The initial plan was to make her puke her guts out, in revenge for threatening to humiliate Veronica for doing the same at a college party. Veronica, originally suggests a combination of Orange Juice and Milk to induce the vomiting, but J.D. suggests liquid drainer instead. Both are poured in beige mugs with lids on them and Vernonica inadvertently takes the fluid cup. J.D. initially tries to warn her, but instead carries the cup for her. After much goading and pretending that the fluid is a hangover cure from the previous night, Chandler drinks the fluid. You can hear it work it's way through her system as she starts to convulse and choke like a cat trying to throw up a hairball. But instead of the comedic vomit, one would expect in a situation like this, Chandler falls face first into a glass table, shattering it on impact as she dies then and there. Both J.D. and Veronica are genuinely shocked at this before they plan to make it look like suicide.
  • The Deaths of Kurt and Ram are also pretty terrifying. Much like Chandler's death, the plan was a simple humiliation tactic, in revenge for spreading false rumors of Kurt and Ram having a threeway with Veronica. J.D. convinces Veronica that they are gonna shoot them with bullets that only break the skin and knock them down and then make them look like they killed each other in a homosexual lover suicide pact. However when the set the plan in motion, J.D. shoots one of them in the throat while Veronica shoots and misses the other causing him to flee into the woods where they planned it out causing J.D. to chase him. The chase itself is intense with the atmosphere of the forest and the intense music, making the scene look like a horror flick. J.D. finally chases him back to Veronica's location where she shoots him again killing him.
