- Chris Higgins is a fictional character in the Friday the 13th franchise. Chris first appears in Friday the 13th Part III (1982) as a young woman visiting a family homestead with friends to overcome trauma. She is portrayed by Dana Kimmell. Writing duo Martin Kitrosser and Carol Watson wrote her as the new protagonist of the series after the previous film's lead, Amy Steel, declined to return as Ginny. An uncredited Petru Popescu rewrote their script and spent the most time developing Chris—giving her an in-depth background and a past connection to series villain Jason Voorhees. Producers of the film actively sought out Dana Kimmell upon seeing her in the slasher film Sweet Sixteen (1982). A casting agent contacted her and brought her in to Steve Miner, and all she had to do was scream in the audition. Kimmell performed all of her stunts in the film. The character's in-depth background and her characterization of dealing with her trauma have contributed to her being a topic in academic studies for shifting the focus of the villain in horror films to the protagonist. Additionally, Chris is the lead protagonist in the two novelizations based on the third film, Michael Avallone's 1982 and Simon Hawke's 1988 adaptations, each altering her ending. (en)

- “It's funny, but apparently, I was interviewed for Fangoria a few years ago, where I talk about these changes I requested in the movie. I honestly don't even remember giving that interview. But I do remember having a meeting with Frank Mancuso, Jr. They had a couple of scenes in there about how Rick and Chris had stayed out all night, and there was a line that they had made love. I said to Frank and Steve Miner, "I'd be a lot more comfortable if we didn't talk about that." And they said, "Just do whatever you want," and rearranged it. I knew this series had a lot of young followers. I just thought it was good not to promote that kind of thing so much. And nobody notices, anyway." (en)
- “I liked Chris because she fought back, I didn't want her to be a wimp. I wanted her to be someone who could survive — and she did." (en)
