Any fan of satiric, black comedy knows and breathes what Heathers brought to the table. With its twists to the typical teen movie genre, no other edgy teen flick could compare.
Here are 8 similar black comedy teen movies, just like Heathers, and where to watch them online!
Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
Welcome to the Dollhouse invites Heathers and The Princess Diaries fans, because the lead actress here is Heather Matarazzo, who played Mia Thermopolis's BFF, Lilly.
The 1995 cult classic finds the outcast middle schooler living in a not-so-perfect, controlled playhouse where she suffers from suburban alienation, with a harsh reality where kids are cruel and more often than not choose to bully her.

Jawbreaker (1999)
Heathers may be the talk of the town, but Jawbreaker is just as much a cult classic dark teen comedy about high school. The only difference is that one murdered high schoolers with a gun, the other with a jawbreaker.
As the title implies, a jawbreaker is exactly the reason why three popular high school girls end up accidentally killing their best friend, Liz. What was supposed to be a birthday prank, where they gagged her with the aforementioned candy, turned into a cover-up story by framing someone else.

But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
But I'm a Cheerleader is a campy take on the typical high school life. The 1999 flick follows Megan, a seemingly all-American teen whose parents send her to a "sexual redirection" camp, all because they suspect her of being a lesbian. There, she actually meets and falls for another girl, Graham, challenging the camp's goal to "cure" them and choosing to navigate her identity, instead.

Jennifer's Body (2009)
Jennifer Check is on no suicide mission, but when a satanic ritual goes wrong, and a succubus possesses her, she is forced to feast on her male classmates to survive, much to the horror of her best friend, Needy Lesnicki, who must stop her once and for all. Take Jennifer's Body as a spiritual successor with its own supernatural twist!

Tragedy Girls (2017)
What most fans may not know is that Heathers walked, so Tragedy Girls could run.
Another iconic yet underrated dark horror-comedy is Tragedy Girls, which is about two high school best friends obsessed with social media fame, who begin committing murders themselves to boost the popularity of their true-crime blog.

Do Revenge (2022)
Do Revenge centers on two high school girls, Drea and Eleanor, who team up to get revenge on each other's bullies at an elite private school. They form an unlikely friendship and execute their elaborate plans.
Any Heathers fan who was on edge about the movie twist will definitely dig into Do Revenge's own high school twist.

Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
Winona Ryder fans who found her performance as Veronica Sawyer iconic would likely enjoy Lisa Frankenstein, which is a horror-comedy about a misunderstood goth teen, Lisa Swallows, who accidentally resurrects a Victorian corpse from a cemetery.
This leads to a dark comedic romance of collecting body parts, all in the name of making 'Frankenstein' more human.

Bottoms (2023)
If it's a campy, chaotic high school experience you're after, the Bottoms movie follows unpopular best friends, PJ and Josie, who start a high school fight club to meet girls (cheerleaders, to be exact) and lose their virginity. They soon find themselves way in over their heads when they realize that the most popular students have started beating each other up in the name of self-defense.
