Early 90s Crypt Keeper Commercial(s)

Don't know if anyone here might remember these but I recall around the early 90s (circa 1992/93), late at night on the Cartoon Network there were commercials featuring the Crypt Keeper were he advertised what I believe were TFTC RPG games. I recall the animatronic puppet was featured and John Kassir still voiced him. I remember the commercials scared me as a kid and I'd sometimes be afraid to watch the Cartoon Network back then knowing he'd sometimes appear (strange the commercials were allowed back then too since this was long before the network's Adult Swim days when they showed family-friendly programming all day and night long).

Anyone remember these or might know where they are on YouTube?

Anyone?

Besides the one you linked, I was too young to remember the commercials. Thank God for YouTube. As you said before, wonder what the people who were selling these Cryptkeeper dolls to kids were thinking?

Indeed  Most kids were terrified of him back then and most would've been forbidden from watching the show. I can only imagine kids being scarred for life after seeing him appear on The Cartoon Network.

You said it! Those poor kiddies. Pun intended.

I remember they scared me so bad when I saw them.

Seems nobody has these along with the Sci-Fi Channel commercial with the Poltergeist parody 
