Season 1 Crypt Keeper

The Crypt Keeper's personality in the first season of the show is noticably different than in subsequent ones, as he's much more serious and sinister with his demeanor and line delivery, and while he still has his puns they're not nearly as over the top or silly as they became later on and his humor is noticably darker in tone. This was due to the limitations of the puppet in Season 1 and the Crypt Keeper's attitude had to be slightly altered to fit the puppet's limitations, but I actually think this worked and was something of a happy accident. In Season 1, his personality had the perfect balance of being scary and darkly humorous, but more scary than anything. Because of the bigger budgets the puppet was improved and they were able to make him more animated and comical in the following seasons, but while I also like the more funny Crypt Keeper I kind of wish they'd kept his Season 1 personality intact. Though in Season 2 he still had some of the more solemn demeanor and less OTT puns before he became much more comedic in Season 3 onward.
