Here is the unedited clip (or a unedited clip with the full intro scene of the episode). I do have a couple of things to point out.

1): I have seen it mentioned a couple of times that "side mouth" wasn't used much or at all after Season 1. I have not investigated it but based on my casual experience this does appear to be true. I wonder why it was removed/used less?

2): Something that I have noticed before personally. Earlier on in the show twinkling eye effects seemed to be more jittery. Of course, this could be just me and my (scattershot) archive of lower quality YT rips.
