The cover of Video Watchdog's first issue

Video Watchdog is a film magazine started in 1990 by publisher/editor Tim Lucas and his wife Donna. Although devoted chiefly to the horror, science fiction, and fantasy genres, the magazine frequently delves beyond these strictures into art film, Hong Kong action cinema, spaghetti western, exploitation films, anime, and general mainstream cinema. Video Watchdog features thoughtful, intelligent film criticism and extensively researched articles. It is generally considered to be the most serious and important genre film publication of its kind since the heyday of Cinefantastique, a magazine that Lucas has acknowledged was a major influence. In addition to Lucas's own reviews, the magazine has included contributions from such noted writers/genre specialists as Kim Newman, Ramsey Campbell, Joe Dante, and Douglas E. Winter.
