2 Heathers

Full of '80s blazers and perms, Heathers isn't a horror movie in the sense that there are witches and goblins, but it does involve a crazed serial killer. Winona Ryder portrays the main character Veronica, who becomes increasingly dubious about the intentions of her slick boyfriend. You'll definitely be more absorbed with the movie's witty comebacks and biting social commentary than its overall scariness.
