Rick was the main deuteragonist of Friday the 13th - Part III. He was the boyfriend of Chris Higgins who met her for the last time and the Wild Bunch at Higgins Haven during the summer of 1984. He was portrayed by Paul Kratka.

Biography[]

Rick was a country boy at heart and a hard worker. He had known Chris for years but had not seen her for a time as she had gone off to the city before she came back to Higgins Haven in 1984. Rick didn't quite understand the real reason she came back to Higgins Haven after two years and was only concerned about the bunch she brought with her. When outside the barn, Rick lifted her onto his back and jokingly remarked that she had gained a little weight since he last seen her. She slapped him on the back laughingly at this remark. During their time at Higgins Haven, the two took the opportunity to get to know each other again.

Rick owned a Volkswagen Beetle which he loaned to Chris' friends Shelly and Vera when they needed to go to town for groceries. Unfortunately, they got into trouble with some bikers damaging the windshield in the process. When Shelly tried to explain that it wasn't his fault and handed him some money for the damage, he remarked to Chris that he had enough of her friends and threatened to walk out but Chris convinced him to stay.

Some time later, Chris revealed to Rick the reason she hadn't come back to the lodge for so long. She explained that she had been attacked by a hideously deformed man (Jason Voorhees) who had tried to kill her, but she narrowly escaped.

Friday The 13th Part 3 - Rick's Eye Popout Death Scene

Returning to the lodge at night, Chris and Rick discovered the house deserted, the lights flickering and popcorn left burning in the kitchen. While Chris investigated inside the house, Rick went back outside to search around the building for anything suspicious. He was ambushed by Jason who grabbed hold of him, keeping him quiet when Chris came out to check on him. Not seeing him in the shadowy corner, Chris went back inside. Jason then brutally killed Rick by crushing his skull in his bare hands, causing his left eyeball to pop out of its socket.
