Felissa Rose Interview
JH: Tell me what it was like working with characters like Chef Artie and Aunt Martha?
FS: "Hmmm, I should Have tied a string around my finger so I wouldn't Forget!" (LAUGHS). I'm only kidding. She (Desiree Gould - Aunt Martha) She was so cool...I think she was definately a little bit like her character...she was really nice.

FS: And Owen Hughes who played ARTIE, he was a teriffic actor! I remember when he was on the set we were all like "WOW, this guy is really good!" I remember thae scenes that I did with him where we were in the kitchen, it was so funny because anytime he spoke to me he'd be really close, and Robert wanted me to have a straight face and I would just burst out laughing...so we had to do that scene like a million times but it was great fun!
JH: What was it like working with Director, Robert Hiltzik??
FS: He was really kind of quiet, kind of to himself...he was so nice, so complimentary. Any time you needed anything he was right there. He was really smart...I think the script was really well written. He knew exactly what he wanted. He had everything mapped out. He was just a great person... a great director. I loved working with him. I'd do anything to work with him again.

JH: So how do you feel about Sleepaway Camp now after all these years??
FS: That's a good question Jeff. Ever since you've come into my life it has brought back all these memories and It's really hard to describe...It's wonderful on one hand...it's like wow! It's cool to think about how this movie was something that a lot of people liked...and on the other hand it's kind of like that was one part of my life and now I'm 30 years old and it's 18 years later and it's strange to think about. But all in all it is a Great memory, I had the Best time and I'm really happy that this is all coming about again!
JH: So tell me what it was like for you the first time you saw this wesbite and got a look at the world of fandom that is out there!
FS: It was so awesome! When I first saw it I was completely amazed! I couldn't believe that there was someone who actually knew about Sleepaway Camp let alone websites!! And your website is incredible! It's so detailed...I was on there for hours just going through it. It brought everything back...it was really cool to see!
JH: So help us put an end to the rumors that Sleepaway Camp had an alternate ending!! I can't imagine that it would since it already has the most shocking ending in history!!
FS: There was absolutely no other ending than the one you saw in the film. In the original script that's just exactly the way it played out! That's it. There was nothing else. That's exactly the way Robert Hiltzik intended.
JH: What was your reaction to Sleepaway Camp the first time you saw it?
FS: It was like WOW! It was great...all my friends, we all went to the theater...and it was so weird! I remembered looking at myself on the screen and asking, "Is that what I really look like?" I thought it was terriffic! And then I would sneak into movie theaters a couple times after opening night with my cousin and we'd be eating popcorn going, "This is so cool!" It was a great experience and I thought the movie was good!
JH: So tell us what Felissa Rose does these days after getting away with murdering all those kids at camp?? :-)
FS: Well I'm married now and my husband is a theater director...so I work with him and do a lot of off-Broadway. We develop original productions ourselves. Right now I am actually working on a short horror movie called Birds Of A Feather and I play the killer!!! Then I will probably be doing another film over the summer. SO acting is keeping me busy, thankfully because it is my passion!

We hope you all feel at ease now that some light has been shed on the mystery surrounding FELISSA!!
