Felissa Rose

Felissa Rose is an American actress closely associated with independent horror cinema. Born Felissa Rose Esposito on May 23, 1969, in New York City and raised on Long Island, she studied at New York University and began acting as a teenager. Her screen debut became her defining early credit: Angela Baker in the cult slasher film Sleepaway Camp. The film's long afterlife on home video and convention circuits made Rose a familiar name to horror fans, and she later returned to the role in Return to Sleepaway Camp.

Rose built a durable career around genre work rather than a single franchise. She has appeared in a large number of low-budget and independent horror films, including Silent Night, Zombie Night, The Perfect House, Camp Dread, Death House, Victor Crowley, Bloody Summer Camp, and Terrifier 2. Her credits often place her in ensemble genre productions, cameos, and supporting roles aimed at the horror audience that embraced Sleepaway Camp. She has also appeared on horror-host and fan-culture programming, including The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, reinforcing her status as a convention and cult-film figure.

In addition to acting, Rose has worked around horror-adjacent media and fan events. Sources list her official site and film databases as active professional portals, while TMDB and IMDb-style listings show an unusually large body of screen credits. Within FilmPeopleRatings data, her recent credits include A Nun's Curse, Scream Test, Bloody Summer Camp, Wolf Hollow, The Omicron Killer, and Bloody Summer Camp 2: Red Horizon. The available record supports a concise biography centered on her horror career, her Sleepaway Camp legacy, and continuing activity in independent film.
