Amber Benson and Samm Levine host the latest episode of The Vault web series

3/25/2014

Amber is joined by fellow actor and friend Samm Levine to host the latest episode of The Vault. The Vault is a web series which is part of horror movie website Fearnet.com

The Vault brings together classic horror movies and actors, journalists and filmmakers who provide an original on-screen video commentary as they watch the film. In this episode Amber and Samm watch William Lustig's 1980s slasher movie Maniac. I'm sure Amber fans will recognise Samm as Clark from Sci fi comedy Drones which of course was co directed by Amber herself.

The good news for Amber fans is that The Vault is free to watch via the Fearnet.com website to find out more and to watch their video commentary click here. Unfortunately at this moment in time the video is not available to watch if you live in the UK we will of course let you know if this changes. As a UK resident myself sadly I won't be able to watch it. As ever feel free to leave a comment under this post or leave a comment on our Facebook page or twitter feed to share your thoughts on it.

3/23/2014

Amber is set to return to the big screen in 2015 as Tiny in The Griddle House. The Griddle House is described by its production company Bearfruit Films as a coming of age holiday film. The film, set in 1995 centers on teenager Jack Benson (Alex Shaffer) whose search to find his birth mother leads him to The Griddle House a 24-hour diner with an eclectic mix of colourful and warmhearted patrons.

Amber is joined in the cast by her former Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Claire Kramer and fellow Buffy actress Charisma Carpenter sadly she and Amber never got to share any screen time in the Buffyverse.

At the moment there aren't too many more details about the film available although Amber did post this photo taken on set recently via her Instagram account. Here is the link and Buffy fans myself included will come up with their own Glory related jokes after seeing the photo, click the link to see what I mean.

Fans can get the latest news on The Griddle House by following their official Twitter and Facebook accounts (click the purple hyperlinks)

Everyone at AmberBenson.TV is really looking forward to seeing this film and we will of course as ever do our best to keep you up-to-date when any new information as it is released.

Homecoming (The Witches of Echo Park) Book 1 Available For Preorder In The UK.

3/18/2014

Here is the news that every UK based Amber fan has been waiting for Homecoming the first novel in her brand-new series is now available to preorder in the UK.

Last year Amber confirmed that she had begun work on a brand new series of novels, originally the working title for the first book was (The Witches of Echo Park). This has now become the title for the series and the first book has been named as Homecoming. Homecoming will be set in Echo Park Los Angeles those are the only details we can confirm at the moment nothing else has been released about Homecoming or the series as a whole.

Earlier this month we posted the news that online USA retailer Amazon.com had listed the book for preorder via its US site. The released date was reported as the 2nd December 2014, their UK site has now made Homecoming available for preorder with the same release date. One thing I did note when I placed my own preorder via the site a short time ago was that the estimated delivery time for the book was displaying as 24 December 2014. I don't know why there is such a big gap between the reported release date and delivery but this may well change as there is still several months until the book is released as always I’ll do my best to keep you posted.

Click this link to the page where you can preorder Homecoming if you wish, you will see that there's very little information on the page at this point and as you might expect no artwork as yet, however I can confirm you can still place a preorder now.

Homecoming will of course be available from other online retailers and bookstores upon release. AmberBenson.TV is NOT endorsing Amazon ahead of other retailers they were simply among the first to publish a release date for the book and as dedicated fans of Amber we wanted to share the good news.

We will of course let you know when more details become available. I’d like to thank fellow Amber fan Richard for letting me know that Homecoming is now available for UK preorder.

Drexeldance 6 is described as a party disguised as a film festival.

Drexeldance 6 is billed as a relaxed evening where you can have a few drinks watch some films and mingle with the filmmakers themselves.
