There was a story in the news recently that caught my attention . It seems that there's a group of cheerleaders at McKinney North High School in Texas that until recently had been absolutely terrorizing the place. This so called "Fab Five" were the most powerful clique in the school, and they owed it all to their incredible popularity and the fact that one had a mom who was the school's principal (up until the story got out and she was forced to resign.) But word has it these girls were cutting class, talking back to teachers, and just plain getting away with murder. I'll bet there were some kids at that school that wanted to burst their bubble. Anyways, the whole scandal is like some Hollywood movie come to life. Stories in the press about the McKinney High cheerleaders have compared the situation to the movie "Mean Girls." But I remember a film from the late 80's that, while not exactly the same, did feature an all powerful clique of ultra-popular chicks who run psychological roughshod over their classmates. The movie starred Wynona Ryder as a one time confidant of the group who conspires with outsider Christian Slater to burst their bubble in a most morbid fashion. What was the name of the film?

Bonus Question: The aforementioned film took place at the fictional Westerberg High School. Apparently, the name for the high school came from the last name of the lead singer of Wynona Ryder's (at the time) favorite band. So what band are we talking about?
