Four public domain films are making the leap to Blu-Ray in the coming months.

Next week, Legend Films is releasing The Little Shop of Horrors (Blu-Ray) and Plan 9 from Outer Space (Blu-Ray). Legend is primarily known for their colorization of black and white films, but has also done a decent job at bringing some titles to Blu recently. Both will be available in original black and white and colorized versions.

Newcomer Film Chest will be releasing The Red House (Blu-Ray / DVD Combo) and The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (Blu-Ray) on April 24th and May 29th respectively.

Bonus features are unlikely.

With Rita Hayworth and Film Noir Classics, Vol. 2 sets also expected in the first half of next year, Sony is kicking of the new year right with the announcement of their Bad Girls of Noir Collections for release on February 9th.

Each collection (above) is a two-disc set with minimal bonus features. Details below.

They will retail for $24.96 each, but are available at ClassicFlix.com for only $19.99 each.

Bad Girls of Film Noir, Vol. 1

In the 40's and 50's the juiciest roles for actresses in Hollywood were often in B-pictures that explored the dark side of life: starring roles as cool, calculating gals who could stick a knife in a man's back and make him like it. Lizabeth Scott, Gloria Grahame, and Evelyn Keyes were some of the best of the period, and are among Noir fans' favorites for their roles in such classics of the genre as Dead Reckoning and The Racket (Scott), The Big Heat and Human Desire (Grahame), 99 River Street and The Prowler (Keyes).

Here's your chance to see them at work in some great films straight out of the vault, newly restored and re-mastered, for the first time on DVD. Co-starred with the likes of Edmond O'Brien, Charlton Heston, and Vittorio Gassman these dames shine a like the brightest stars in Hollywood, and each film packs in plenty of the best bad girl behavior.

BONUS FEATURES:

  • Terry Moore on Two of a Kind
  • The Payoff-All Star Theatre Episode

Bad Girls of Film Noir, Vol. 2

Cleo Moore, Audrey Totter, Jan Sterling, Ida Lupino and Janis Carter. Forgery, adultery, theft, blackmail and murder. The Bad Girls of Noir are back, in Volume 2, and these gorgeous gals with malice in their hearts are sure to thrill hard-boiled fans of Noir.

Fan favorite Cleo Moore finally gets her due in three films that highlight the talents of the beauty who was compared to Marilyn Monroe, but whom fans love for her earnest, if stilted portrayals of dim-witted gals who can't catch a break. Four films, restored and re-mastered are all new to DVD, and sure to provide plenty of excitement for the noir aficionado. Watch out for these gals, they're dangerous--which makes them oh, so fun to watch.

BONUS FEATURE:

  • Remember to Live-All Star Theatre Episode
