A Wise Old Owl
A wise old owl lived once in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

" Wise Owl knows Best "
Fanart of the TV-Show Inside No. 9's episode 6 of series 7, "Wise Owl". Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the whole show, while also being one of the heaviest. Old animated PSAs have always been an interest of mine, and to see them used to their full creepy effect, while also telling this heartbreaking story about trauma was just really amazing.

Ranking Inside No. 9's Horror-esque Episodes
I love Halloween, and I love Inside No. 9, so it's only right that I put together a ranking in celebration of both! Plus it's Friday 13th, which makes it even more appropriate. Let me know what your favourites are too, just remember to be respectful of others and their opinions
This ranking goes from lowest to highest
NOTE: This list will only include purely horror, so neither of the Christmas-centred episodes (Devil of Christmas and Bones of St Nicholas) will appear. Also, after some deliberation, episodes which switch genre halfway through won't be counted either
Tempting Fate
Oh boy, this is gonna be controversial...
The quality of the episode is high and the acting is remarkable, it just didn't click with me. I don't know why, it just wasn't the one for me. I should probably rewatch it, maybe then I'll like it more
The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge
While it did have some very funny moments, a great cast, and fantastic replication of a historical setting, the ending is the weakest in the series and lets it down significantly. Nonetheless, it's still a good episode that's worth the watch if you like horror comedies
Seance Time
I enjoyed the build-up of this one, and the acting is brilliant. The ended jumpscare felt a little cheap but, as someone that's a massive wuss when it comes to them, it got me. An overall good episode
The Harrowing
A severely underrated episode with, once again, a kickass cast! While there are elements of comedy, the ending is bone-chilling and uncomfortable. I also love that it's female-led, a rarity in Inside No. 9, which often features Reece/Steve as the main character or opts for none at all
Wise Owl
An incredible episode that deserves every bit of hype it gets, Wise Owl perfectly combines animation and live action to create an uneasy, unsettling atmosphere. On top of that, the overarching story is emotive and the ending is one of the most powerful in the whole series
How Do You Plead
This one HAD to take the top spot! Derek Jacobi and Reece Shearsmith work wonderfully together, plus Steve Pemberton's performance is fantastic. Not to mention the excellent twists and camerawork, this one is perfect for any horror fan
