In the original version of the game, when you nail the coffin shut, a couple of the instruments get muted. For the special edition, I didn't just want to have the instruments muted, I wanted them to sound muffled, as if inside the coffin with Stan, so I got the music supervisor to let me change the way the music was implemented in the game. I think that's what Peter McConnell would have done if he was working in audio instead of MIDI on the original.
That’s a great bit of info! Congratulations on an awesome job working on the soundtrack of my favorite game. Could have been just ok, but the remastered soundtrack is the highlight of the rerelease.
When I was a little kid and played this game for the first time (I wanted Diablo, but _that_ game scared me so my parents took it away and got me CoMI from a bargain bin instead), I loved Stan's theme so much I would park Guybrush there and read books while the music played endlessly...

"Dang, no money!"
"Of course there's no money, I just went to the bank...NOW LET ME OUTTA HERE!"
After nailing the coffin shut, I'd sit and just listen to him call out for help because all the lines were so funny
heellllllooo? any body out there?
I honestly love the lines where he's still trying to sell to you. "I'd bust otta here, but the dang thing's too well-built!"
By far the best rendition
my favorite soundtrack :)
I took great pleasure in nailing the coffin shut.
Is it just me or I can hear a cue from Wagner's wedding march? :D is it because "marriage is the grave of love"?
his character used to scare me a lot when i was younger hahaha
