(1989)**
In the second sequel to Silent Night Deadly Night, and the last sequel to follow the original story, Ricky is in a coma after being shot at the end of Silent Night Deadly Night 2. Ricky’s doctor, Doctor Newbury (Ben Horn from Twin Peaks!) brings in blind telepathic Laura in an attempt to connect with Ricky in his comatose world (I know, I know). After failing to achieve this ridiculous, pointless goal Laura decides to visit her grandmother with her brother (Leo from Twin Peaks!) and his girlfriend. Of course Ricky wakes up (with brain encased in glass thingamabob - see above) and fairly quickly makes his way to grandma’s house where he continues his killing spree.
I'm such a bad movie that there are no available images online so a blurry shot of the VHS case will have to suffice
Awful at every level. Why is it that horror sequels in the 80s inevitably include a psychic or telekinetic protagonist (e.g., Friday the 13th VII, Elm Street 3, etc)? I suppose it’s a way to even the odds against an unstoppable killing machine. The original SNDN was pretty bad and part 2 was almost entirely footage from the original. Part 3 is just a tiresome exercise. Even Ricky seems embarrassed to be walking around with his brain encased in glass. Also, wouldn’t it be pretty easy to defeat Ricky? Essentially all you would need is ANYTHING capable of breaking glass. – Hello paperweight, I’m looking at you. There are two more SNDN sequels. Biiiiiig yawn.

I've seen on and two and was about as impressed as you were. Seeing that glass encased brain weirdo is a total turn off right there. Thanks for the warning.
I've never seen a single one of these movies. I'm surprised he isn't wearing a Santa hat to cover up his brain.
Oh, great. Now that I said that I'm going to think everyone wearing a Santa hat is covering a visible brain under glass.
