WWDITS is much more of a laugh out load sitcom. It’s like a modern The Addams Family or The Munsters - horror themed, but too much of a lampoon to retain any actual scares.
Widow’s Bay I’d call a proper horror-comedy. There’s comedy coming from the character’s reactions, but the horror they’re reacting to is mostly played straight. The characters and the audience are both meant to be at least a little scared by it. I recommend checking it out, but it’s a very different feel.
I’d recommend watching other shows by the WWDITS team, first, if you haven’t. Wellington Paranormal, Our Flag Means Death, and Fight of the Concords. Only the first one is particularly spook flavoured, but they’re all solid comedies.

HBO cancelling Our Flag Means Death should be counted as a crime against humanity.
Mate, I really appreciate the response and ideas - thank you
