Sometimes, taking a break from a polished picture is exactly what you need for movie night. Often made with modest resources and a ton of personality, so-called “Type B horror” movies are known for their reliance on horror tropes and clichés. And of course, one can’t fake belonging to this genre, so indie cinema naturally takes the cake. And if we add comedy to the mix?
These indie comedy horror movies on UVOtv are the perfect blend.
Wisconsin Project X (2011)
Directed by: Christian Ackerman
The budget may be modest for this one, but the creativity is off the charts.
Wisconsin Project X is exactly what it sounds like—an outrageously fun horror comedy that delivers gooey mayhem and just the right amount of science gone wrong. Set in the quiet, fictional town of Wisconsinville, Montana, the story kicks off when a well-meaning but overzealous scientist named Dr. Winston accidentally unleashes something wildly unexpected while testing a formula meant for… snack cakes. What starts as a lab mishap quickly escalates into a town-wide siege filled with explosions, mutated humanoids, and a whole lot of over-the-top 80s-style chaos.
If you’re into movies that don’t take themselves too seriously but still manage to be clever, gross, and genuinely entertaining, this one’s for you. The special effects have a scrappy, practical charm that gives the whole film a nostalgic flair, and the action hits with just the right mix of slapstick and splatter. It’s fun, fast, and packed with personality. Wisconsin Project X feels like a hidden gem made by horror fans, for horror fans. You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably rewind a few scenes just to say, “Did that really just happen?”
The Devil’s Hacksaw (2025)
Directed by: Ryan Cavalline
In the sleepy corners of rural Pennsylvania, a quiet evening morphs into chaos when a dangerous patient stages a daring escape from Greystone Asylum. With his gaze fixed on revenge, he rampages through a nearby trailer park, brandishing sledgehammers and axes in matchstick fashion.
If you had a dime every time a movie in this selection is zero budget, you’d have a few by now. This film wears its zero-budget charm like a badge of honor. Don’t expect nuanced performances or polished production values, the pace feels more like swapping war stories with a buddy around a campfire: cheesy acting, slapstick pacing. The harmless gore that embraces every horror cliché. Somehow, each time the killer enters a new scene, he’s magically scrubbed clean of blood—an absurd detail that underlines the tongue-in-cheek vibe. It’s a chaotic, laughter-fueled slasher that’s less about fear and more about the joy of seeing horror done with heart and humor.
The Forest Clown (2025)
Directed by: Lukas DiSparrow
Set deep in the woods, this slasher comedy follows a group of weekend campers who quickly realize they’ve stumbled into a mad clown with a grudge and a weapon. As the group is hunted one by one, the film uses every horror cliché you’ve ever seen to its benefit. You’ll see all the classic slasher setups, like splitting up when they just said they wouldn’t, sudden slow-motion running, and victims who act like they’ve never heard of horror movies.
If you like your horror self-aware, The Forest Clown might just be your next campy favorite. As a spiritual spinoff of Horror Stories (2024), The Forest Clown embraces grainy forest shots, absurd character choices, and kill scenes that cleverly blur the line between suspense and parody.
The magic here is in the execution (pun intended). Instead of leaning on heavy effects, the film plays with off-screen violence, dramatic music cues, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing whether it’s comedy, horror, or some delightful mix of both.
Resurrection Corporation (2021)
Directed by: Alberto Genovese
The only animation in this list, Resurrection Corporation, is a horror-comedy that is a nod to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a German silent horror film from 1920. A whole century later, Rurrection Corporation took home Best Feature Film at the Apulia Horror International Film Festival in 2021.
A disgruntled mortician named Caligari is furious that his business is crumbling, thanks to a shady corporation that’s figured out how to bring the dead back to life. Now that the town is full of well-dressed undead citizens, he and his stitched-up assistant Bruta go on a mission to take their revenge and reclaim what’s his.
Despite its deliberately crude animation style (which still suits the vibe), the film delivers a ton of atmosphere. The visuals are bold and weird in all the right ways. There’s some surprisingly smart satire about monopolies and obsolescence baked into the madness.
Forest of Flesh (2024)
Directed by: Arla Piacentini
Clocking in as a short film but packing all the energy of a full-length slasher, this horror-comedy throws a group of unlucky campers into the woods for what quickly becomes a gleefully gory nightmare. It’s got everything you’d want from a retro-inspired horror comedy movie, like over-the-top kills, creepy woods, and characters who definitely should’ve stayed out of the forest.
If you’re looking for something short, sharp, and full of guts (literally and stylistically), Forest of Flesh delivers.
