I think the legacy of "Home" made X-Files wary of doing gore for a long time, that and the show itself often preferred psychological stuff.. then again it didn't shy from body horror in some episodes : what made Chuckle Teeth unique is that he was very sadistic and proactive, he personally attacked multiple people in the episode he was in and did so in a manner that showed he was doing it mostly for personal enjoyment.. the witchcraft element was a bit of a "meh" moment but for a series that's been around so long I'm surprised it took them to the revival series era to work on the "evil witch" mythos (I know they did an earlier one with Satanism).. funnily enough the demon of that episode (Phyllis Paddock) is considered PE on this wiki.. she's quite similar to Chuckle Teeth, save that she was more like a punishing force while Chuckle is just chaos.
