Video Watchdog launched its first Digital Edition with issue #175 in October 2013 and the response from around the world has been amazing! Check out the current issue! It's free in Flash format for computers and in a free App for iPads/iPhones fromiTunes.
Video Watchdog Magazine has held true to its description as "The Perfectionist's Guide to Fantastic Video" since its first issue appeared on newsstands in June of 1990. It started out as a column written by critic Tim Lucas for three other magazines — Video Times, Overview and Gorezone — before becoming a publication in its own right. It was in these columns that Tim "pretty much invented video reviewing as a genre distinct from movie reviewing," according to New York Times critic Dave Kehr.
The magazine was conceived by Tim's wife Donna, then a computer software specialist and instructor with a background in graphic design. Though Video Watchdog is most identified with Tim's eye for alternative versions, missing scenes and other movie minutiae, Donna wears every corporate hat that he doesn't. Every one of its 175 issues, two Signature Editions and two Special Editions, and Tim's acclaimed mammoth biography Mario Bava — All the Colors of the Dark has been designed, published and shipped by Donna out of their Cincinnati home.
Each glossy, 80-page issue of Video Watchdog boasts articles and reviews written by the field's most noted critics, authors, thinkers and educators. In its nearly quarter-century history, Video Watchdog has won the acclaim of such filmmakers as Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, and Quentin Tarantino, as well as those other distinguished gentlemen featured in our video above. It has also become the most awarded publishing imprint of its kind, recognized with the International Horror Guild Award, the Independent Book Publishers Award, the Saturn Award for Special Achievement, and a record-number 15 Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award wins, including Tim and Donna's 2010 induction into the Monster Kid Hall of Fame.
This is the legacy we want to make digitally available to everyone.
Our Goal
OK! We've taken the giant leap to digital. Going forward, Video Watchdog will be produced in both print and digital editions, optimized for computers and iPads.
Since we want to reach everyone and remove any barriers that might stand in the way, we've announced that every new digital issue of Video Watchdog, for the length of its time on newsstands, will be absolutely FREE.
Bold step, right? But that's not enough.
Now we want to digitize and bring online our entire archive of 176 back issues across all platforms and playable on all devices!
Like the Digital Editions we've already published, we'll add extra content, expanded page counts, video and audio clips, links to websites for direct ordering, extra photos and slide shows, and whatever else is needed to bring the issues to life for a completely unique enhanced experience; one that will engage you and enrich your appreciation of the film and video releases we've covered.
The Video Watchdog Digital Archive will contain 174 issues (published from 1990 to 2013) and 2 Special Editions — over 14,000 pages of content, thousands of reviews, hundreds of articles from the days of early home video on Beta, VHS and laserdisc, to Blu-ray discs and streaming of today. Once converted, this extraordinary archive will become fully searchable for the first time, enhanced with interactive film clips, music and slideshows — far beyond what you've ever imagined a video magazine could be!
