2014

Welcome to the second year of HubrisWeen. Late last September the idea hit me--I could review 26 movies in alphabetical order in October as a way to try and get increased audience for Checkpoint Telstar, my nearly zero-reader cult movie blog. Starting on October 6 with Alligator, I was able to post one review every morning through the end of the month. The marathon succeeded in getting more page views, but it was a gigantic amount of effort in a very short time and I'd decided that it was essentially a failed experiment; I wasn't planning on doing another marathon for 2014.

And then three friends from the B movie scene got in touch with me, planning to do their own HubrisWeen marathons and asking for tips. So I resolved to get back in the saddle, and together with Yes, I Know and The Terrible Claw Reviews, we will march forward into a month of monsters, madmen, ghouls and gasps. And a couple of movies that suck on toast, but even those serve as a palate cleanser in the middle of the feast. That's what we're telling ourselves, anyway.

Best wishes to Micro-Brewed Reviews, whose author had to drop out of the challenge unexpectedly. Next time, amigo.

And now, the master list. As the links become available I'll be posting them here in alphabetical order by film. This year I'm overjoyed that there are twice as many reviews for me to read as there were to write. With luck.
