Robert "Bob" Martin (October 8, 1948 – July 20, 2020) was the original editor of Fangoria, an American horror film fan magazine.

His column of film news continued to run in that magazine, until a blistering argument with the new editor regarding remarks in Martin's column that the new editor feared might incur the wrath of the Sci-Fi Channel.

In December 1996, Martin relocated from his native New York to Los Angeles, where he mostly worked as an Internet techie, but also wrote press materials for a few films, most notably The People vs. Larry Flynt, in which his description of Flynt as "the last champion of the sexual revolution" stirred the wrath of Gloria Steinem, generating considerable press for the film.

That career was cut short by a stroke that left him incapable of handling cards or chips as professionally required.

After a period spent on disability,[2] Martin joined the horror portal Dread Central as a regular contributor in May 2009.
