It was a pleasant surprise for my penis to see former “Angel” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star Charisma Carpenter pop up in an episode of “Legend of the Seeker” last year and again this summer in Sly Stallone’s must-see shoot’em up The Expendables. But, it was an absolute shock for it to discover that the pretty Las Vegas native turned 40 in July.

Carpenter—who still rocks a 23-year-old’s body—appears to be on the comeback trail. The doe-eyed starlet is set to headline director Jason Bourque’s survival-frightener Crash Site. Principle photography is already underway in Vancouver.

Crash Site stars Carpenter and Ty Olsson (Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) as a vacationing couple stranded deep in the woods after an automobile accident. The duo must survive the elements to make it back to civilization.

Carpenter can also be seen in the upcoming straight-to-DVD British horror film Psychosis. The film is said to feature Carpenter in violent sex scenes (I will investigate this immediately).
