Chained Heat 3: Horror of Hell Mountain is a 1998 American direct-to-video women-in-prison action-horror film directed by Lloyd A. Simandl. It is the third and final installment in the unofficial Chained Heat series, which began with the 1983 cult classic Chained Heat starring Linda Blair. This sequel bears little narrative connection to its predecessors, instead functioning as a standalone exploitation film. It blends the standard “women behind bars” tropes with supernatural horror elements, set in a remote mountain prison mine. The film is notable for featuring adult film actress Nikki Dial in a rare mainstream leading role.
