Horror + Comedy is an underappreciated combination of genres. Especially when the horror is still actually horrific and not just a complete joke.

It's hard to make the horror actually spooky when delivering comedy.

The contrast when you go from one to the other is what really makes it work. Or alternatively when you mash the two together in such a way that it turns into surrealism.

Utsuranain does it well by playing with the character personalities for the comedy, it feels pretty natural and it also allow itself to be horror when necessary

Mieruko-chan, maybe? Although I've only read the manga version of that.
More than a few similarities between that and Utsuranain desu, thinking about it.

It's hard to name any anime because good horror anime is so rare, let alone good horror + comedy.
In manga, though, I think Junji Ito is the master of this.
