Y'mean, Legend Films being public domain weasels with their own colorization department, that wanted one more desperate sales-gimmick excuse to flog "Little Shop of Horrors"?

Mike Nelson landed a job with Legend Films, who were taking popular public domain movies, remastering them, and colorizing them for DVD release. As an added incentive to buy their versions of these public domain films, they had Nelson record humorous commentary tracks for a few of their releases. Plan 9 was one of them, along with Night of the Living Dead, Reefer Madness, Carnival of Souls, and a few others.

(So....yeah. Pretty much then.)
