UPDATE (18/10/2025): So I realised that the Dolby Stereo mix is a bit muffled when compared to the DTS track, and I can theorise that this is how Disney used to master audio digitally on their LDs back then, though the LD was released just a few months after their first THX LD with Aladdin, so it’s possible that THX was too late to find out what Disney was doing. So to fix this problem, I went ahead and equalised it using the raw optical audio from Thunderbean’s 35mm scan as a reference so you can get crystal clear sound, especially since I recall people claiming Aladdin’s 35mm audio is better than the LaserDisc, and apparently the same thing can be said for Nightmare, since the 35mm audio is way clearer than the LD. Also, as an added bonus, it will also include a Dolby Headphone track of the 1997 mix, since I feel like it, since I already did it with Toy Story.
