My Take
Felissa Rose fascinates me less for the scares and more for the staying power. She was barely a teenager when Sleepaway Camp branded her a horror icon for life, and instead of fleeing that label she leaned in, racking up over 200 credits and stepping behind the camera as a producer. That kind of loyalty to a genre that often chews up its young stars feels like genuine love, not resignation. A Tisch-trained New Yorker who turned a single shocking role into a lifelong craft, she strikes me as someone who understands that horror, done with affection, is its own form of generosity toward an audience.
