"Sleepaway Camp" scream queen Felissa Rose

Has anyone met her? She seems to have fully embraced her legacy for playing chick-with-a-dick Angela in the first "Sleepaway Camp". She still acts, mainly in B-horror movies—I know she was in the recent "Terrifier" sequel, which was a major mainstream surprise hit, so I'm sure that was exciting. Some actors seem wary of accepting the kind of one-hit legacy she has, but she doesn't seem to give a fuck. I follow her on Instagram and she is constantly appearing at revival screenings and doing the whole horror convention circuit. I know the money can be an enticing factor for doing this, but it appears she legitimately enjoys it. She seems like a cool lady.

I listened to an episode of the "Talk Scary to Me" podcast with Danielle Harris and Scout Taylor-Compton awhile back, and they recounted a story from one of these conventions where Felissa was onstage going off about how much she loves anal. Sounds like my kind of gal.

I always get a kick out of her when she shows up as a talking head. She has a Sarah Silverman-quality. She reminds me of an outgoing East Coast theater kid who had a brush with infamy and is enjoying the ride. She admitted a while back that she was very embarrassed of the movie for long time.

R2 really? I didn’t know that. I have the movie on Blu-ray (released several years ago now) and there is an extensive documentary on there. At the end of it, she gets really emotional and starts crying while talking about how grateful she is for having been a part of it. It was kind of sweet.

She seems nice and seems to have fun at the conventions with fans but looks and acts like a very trashy Jersey girl. Her mouth is enormous too.

I always felt her performance was very overrated in Sleepaway Camp. All she did was look timid and make the crazy, open-mouthed face shot at the end. But I guess it's good she appreciates how much the movie is remembered and how it no doubt led to the majority of the acting work she's gotten since. I think she knows she got very lucky.

She's hilarious. Very gracious with her fans, always cracking jokes - seems like a blast. Saw her in-person when the Texas Theatre in Dallas showed Sleepaway Camp a few years ago. She'd gotten buzzed off a few "drinkie-poos" during the screening and was an absolute riot for the Q&A afterwards. I'm guessing she still does it on the regular, so if she comes through your town, definitely go check out the show.
