2019

Can it be HubrisWeen time again? Hell YEAH it can be HubrisWeen time again. As we've done for the last several years, some members of the Celluloid Zeroes blogging and podcasting collective will be reviewing 26 horror movies in alphabetical order from October 6 till Halloween day. This time around Checkpoint Telstar and Web of the Big Damn Spider will not be blogging our reviews. Instead, Sean and I will be dropping microsodes of our podcast, The Fiasco Brothers Watch a Movie.

Thank you to all our repeat readers and listeners. It might be 2019 and everything might be on Goddamned fire, but HubrisWeen continues.

2018

Here we are again on October 6, with another group of reviewers providing another group of reviews for HubrisWeen 6. Just like the last five (!) years, everyone's reviewing 26 October-appropriate movies in alphabetical order, from the 6th to Halloween so that the reviews for all the Z films drop on the 31st. For the first time, Web of the Big Damn Spider's Sean Frost and Checkpoint Telstar's Tim Lehnerer are going audiophilic for HubrisWeen, with their podcast The Fiasco Brothers Watch a Movie trying to review their selections in three oversized mini-episodes. Will it work? Probably, but it might be that hubris strikes them down in the end.

2017

Oh, wow, it's that time of year again already. Although I founded HubrisWeen back in 2013, I will be sitting out this year because I just don't have the will to write 130,000 words on horror movies just this moment.

But even if I'm not going to be reviewing anything this time around, four other B movie aficionados are working their typing fingers to the bone to bring you 26 reviews of movies in alphabetical order, with the Z list dropping on Halloween itself.

The contributors this year are Chad Plambeck of Micro-Brewed Reviews,  Gavin R. R. Smith of The Terrible Claw Reviews, Sean Frost of Web of the Big Damn Spider, and Freeman Williams of Yes, I Know. I wish them continued luck in their frankly insane endeavor.

Without further ado, here's the giant pile of links to the giant pile of reviews.

2016

It's already October 6 again? Where does the time go? Specifically, where does the time go when we're trying to make self-imposed review deadlines for a blogaround that's entering its fourth year?

HubrisWeen is a 26-day blogging marathon where five of the Celluloid Zeroes will be reviewing an October-appropriate movie every day through Halloween. Because that's not difficult enough, we're doing it in alphabetical order, with a couple "blank tile" rules to make it slightly easier on ourselves. There are not very many horror movies that start with J, as it turns out. Special thanks to Yes, I Know, Web of the Big Damn Spider, The Terrible Claw Reviews and Micro-Brewed Reviews for joining Checkpoint Telstar this year to celebrate the season. Best wishes to Psychoplasmics, which found the Sisyphean ordeal to be unworkable this time around, but who plans to join us for stress-related deadline panic next year.

Without further ado, here are the links to this year's entries.

2015

It's that time again, and much sooner than I anticipated. The third HubrisWeen has begun. For the next 26 days, five B movie blogs will be reviewing a movie a day apiece, for a grand total of 130 reviews running through the end of the month. Because that isn't difficult enough, we're also going to go through the alphabet so that we hit everything from Arachnia to Zaat! as we journey through everything that October-appropriate movies have to offer.

The participating blogs this year are Checkpoint Telstar, Micro-Brewed Reviews, The Terrible Claw Reviews, Web of the Big Damn Spider and Yes, I Know. Long may we continuing doing this sort of thing. Numerous may our site hits become. And if anyone thinks it looks like fun to do this, get in touch with me around July next year as I start planning the logistics for HubrisWeen 4:  The Final Chapter.

I'll be updating this post daily with links to the various reviews (in alphabetical order by movie title, so that people coming here won't necessarily find the links to my blog, Checkpoint Telstar, first every time). I hope everyone involved has fun--I certainly do, for all my griping, and it's great to know that I've got four times as much material to read as I do to write this year. Maybe next time we'll get into double digits for participants.

Let's light this candle.

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.
