It’s time to explore the final Hammer Horror film of the 1970s, To the Devil… a Daughter (1976). [Note: The mystery comedy film The Lady Vanishes (1979) would drop and… vanish… in 1979.] To the Devil… a Daughter has the reputation of putting the final nail into Hammer’s filmmaking coffin. The quality and success of Hammer productions spiraled throughout the decade as the landscape of horror films changed – especially after The Exorcist (1973). Surprisingly, the film is much better than how the Grue Crew remembers it and how its reputation proceeds it. That is, up until its abrupt and head-scratching ending and that strange devil puppet. If you know, you know. Check out what the Grue Crew thinks of the film directed by Peter Sykes and featuring Christopher Lee, Richard Widmark, and Nastassja Kinski.

At the time of this writing, To the Devil… a Daughter is available to stream from Peacock and PlutoTV as well as various PPV from Amazon and Fandango At Home. To the Devil… a Daughter is also available on physical media as a Blu-ray from SCREAM Factory.

Central Park and the Plaza, William Anderson Coffin, 1917-18

House on Haunted Hill

The guests are given miniature coffins containing pistols. The hostess hangs herself part way through the festivities. There’s an acid vat in the wine cellar. And a plastic skeleton flies over the audience at a key moment. If nothing else, William Castle’s HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959, Shudder, Prime, AMC+, Tubi, YouTube) proves the man sure knew how to throw a party. After his first gimmick film, MACABRE (1958), made back almost ten times its cost, Castle realized the real money was in the teen market, so he and writer Robb White made HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. Its combination of carnival tricks, Vincent Price and the wonder of Emergo (the flying skeleton trick) brought in more than ten times its cost and set Castle on the road to more gimmick-laden horror films that were camp before Susan Sontag ever used the term. His two films with Price (1959’s THE TINGLER is the other) are probably the best of the bunch, even if HOUSE has some big plot holes and a pretty dreadful damsel in distress.

Price stars as an eccentric millionaire who rents a haunted house (Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House on the outside, a Hollywood Victorian monstrosity on the inside, and no, they don’t look like the same house) and invites four strangers (or so he thinks) and the house’s owner (Elisha Cook, Jr.) to spend the night. If they survive, they each get $10,000, but when strange things start happening, particularly to cash-strapped secretary Carolyn Craig, that begins to seem a pretty big “if.” Although at first reluctant to take part, Price’s greedy wife (Carol Ohmart) starts visiting Craig and handsome test pilot Richard Long to sow the seeds of fear and distrust.

Yes, the film is arrant nonsense. But it’s so much fun only a curmudgeon would care. Price is surprisingly subdued, while Ohmart, originally marketed as “the female Marlon Brando,” is just delicious trading zingers with him. The most fun in the cast, however, is Cook. He keeps popping up with predictions of doom as he gets progressively drunker. Poor Craig is pretty awful; she’s whiny and her terror seems forced (Long deserved some kind of award for keeping a straight face during their scenes). But that actually adds to the camp element. You also get Alan Marshall as a cheesy British psychiatrist who keeps talking about “hysteeria,” Robert Mitchum’s sister, Julie, as a newswoman and Leona Anderson as the blind caretaker who keeps turning up to give Craig something to suffer by.

[lboogie1906]

Samuel “Sambo” Anderson (c. 1750 - February 20, 1845) was one of the enslaved people on George Washington’s plantation, Mount Vernon. His early history is unclear but what is known is he was from what is now the West African nation of Guinea. He claimed to have been part of a royal family in the region before his capture and enslavement. Washington purchased him sometime in the late 1750s and quickly put him to work at Mount Vernon.

While living enslaved at Mount Vernon, he worked as a carpenter. He helped build and repair plows, carts, wheels, door and window frames, livestock pens, fishing boats, and even coffins. He and other skilled craftsmen built the storehouses, barns, and overseer’s houses at Washington’s plantation. The wooden mantle on the Mount Vernon mansion’s dining room fireplace was designed by Bernard Sears, an English craftsman in 1775, he and other enslaved craftsmen built the structure. The work he and other skilled craftsmen ensured that Mount Vernon was self-sufficient.

He earned enough money to purchase and free some of his still enslaved family members including his daughter Charity, his grandchildren William and Eliza, and Eliza’s children James, William, and John. In the 1830s, he and his grandson William, along with 12 other former slaves and their descendants, returned to Mount Vernon to help with the construction of the new tomb for George Washington. He remained at Mount Vernon. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

[angelic-lambs-artwork]

You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆ You are absolutely not a bother, btw! If you'd ever like another question, please let me know! 💖

Does your character miss anyone? Why do they miss this person? What would they be willing to do in order to see them again?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION AAAAAA :D !! <33

I love rambling on about my stories,,

They can be very dark though :((

I do have happyish ones though I swear

i go off on a long ramble I'm super sorry, it's a long post 

My story, The Sickness features my character called Adam Williams, who used to work as a doctor in the only hospital around his area and He was married to a woman called Sarah Anderson, who was a nurse working alongside him, after they were married they had a son who was called Tommy Williams.

But things started to go south when he was born...

TW/CW: mentions of child death, hospital mention, funerals, abusive behaviours(hitting/shouting), vomit, asphyxiation 

Sarah started to become jealous of Tommy because of how Adam seemed to spend time with him a lot and not want to do anything risky anymore that they used to do together like drinking, etc.

Because Sarah was a drug addict and had a lot of dangerous addictions, she could also be very verbally abusive to Adam.

After her jealously for her child becomes too much she sets up a plan and spikes his morning drink and cereal, afterwards Tommy went to school after the drink and became very ill, vomiting up and passing out in school.

Adam immediately being there when he heard the news and checked up on him while Sarah listened in behind the door as they told him, he may not make it and Adam was distraught, crying over Tommy while he tried to help him as best as he could think off

While Sarah was laughing all the way down the halls.

After days and days of trying to save his son and skipping sleep, food and water, Sarah stepped in and talked to him privately she started to tell him to just “give up on him” as “he is already far gone”, Adam was inraged and just threw his wedding ring off, walking away from her but Sarah didn't like this one bit. 

Sneaking into Tommy's room and unplugged his life support, grabbing his pillow and started to smother him in it, only pulling away when he went limp.

When the plug was pulled, the loud beeping started and doctors, nurses rushed into the room, some froze when they saw Sarah standing over him with the plug and pillow in hand, as Tommy was dead.

Adam rushed in as everyone was frozen and he screamed out, rushing over to Tommy and trying to bring him back instead of focusing on Sarah, which made her angrier and she started to scream at him,

 “why don't you like me?”

 “why is it always about Tommy?”

 “Don't you love me?”

“What about me?”

“Don't I matter?” 

Suddenly everything started to go in slow motion for Adam, everything went so slowly and he felt so light, everything felt so far away and he didn't realise that he was wrapping his hands around Sarah's throat,

 throwing her down and choking her against the floor Everything was flashing different colours in his eyes and he couldn't recognise anything he couldn't feel anything, he could only squeeze harder until something he couldn't see stopped writhing,

  He could hear faint sirens but he didn't pay any mind to it, only squeezing harder until he snapped out of it and let go of his grasp on her neck when he was violently shoved onto the ground by a police officer, as his vision shifted back to normal he was shaking violently and they were putting Sarah in handcuffs before they tried to put Adam in handcuffs but the other doctors reasoned with the officers that it was self-defence and that they all just witnessed her murder there child, the police officers didn't believe them all at first, there's no way a mother would do that to her own child, right? But after they reviewed the security footage with Adam and the other doctors, they put her in for murder for 10 years Adam was arrested for assault but was let go due to bail from his doctor friends, Adam was standing in the graveyard, in all black watching as a tiny coffin was dropped into the wet dirt and he couldn't stop the tears rushing down his face, he couldn't stop shaking. He was the only one who attended the funeral, all of Sarah's family blaming him for everything and cutting all contact, even his own sister who was best friends with Sarah, all of them accusing him of abusing her and forcing her into it. The only one who was there was the pastor, who stayed with him even after the funeral had ended, but Adam didn't care about anything He just lost his own son, he couldn't breathe or think, all he felt was the pain. He was completely alone now, not for very long, he thought what if he could be brought back to life? that thought sparked him into life slightly, doing extensive research online about it he thought he was crazy but he had to try he needed his son back And back would his son be just not in the way he wanted.

He dug him back up, carefully taking his body back to his home before he thought it was too risky to do it here, so he moved to the abandoned bunker he bought years ago but had promptly forgotten about,

he took his son there and prepped the whole bunker up,

even making him his own room.

He wired him up and started to shock him, after a minute there wasn't anything, Adam was getting more upset the less he reacted but he froze when he heard a tiny voice call out to him, 

“papa...?”

Adam whipped around and started to hold the cold boy's cheeks, tearing onto them as he smiled for the first time in days, he was overjoyed but froze again,

It didn't come from his body.

He backed away and he noticed the teddy bear cuddled on the boys chest moving slightly or trying too, it looked up at him and it smiled happily, waving its arms in the air at him and trying to crawl to the frozen Adam

“Papa!”

He said he would do anything for him, his son was back and he was going to stay for good now.

FATHER’S DAY

The death of Lucille Ball’s father at an early age had a great impact. Throughout the four situation comedies built around her, the “Lucy” characters had mothers, but references to their fathers was rare. Here’s a tribute to the precious few dads found in the Lucyverse! 

Henry “Had” Durrell Ball (1887-1915) ~ Father of Lucille Ball and Fred Ball.

Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y Alberni II (1894-1973) ~ Father of Desi Arnaz and grandfather of Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz IV. Desi Jr. is now the father of two. 

Ricky Ricardo (aka Ricardo Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha aka Enrique Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha III) ~ Father of Ricky Ricardo Jr. (Keith Thibodeaux). Actually, Ricky’s son was played by 8 actors over the course of the series.

In “Return Home From Europe” (ILL S5;E26), Ricky insists that he is not the father of baby Cheddar Chester!

Below are all the fathers on “I Love Lucy”!  

But first, a (Father’s Day) word from our sponsor!

Will Potter ~ Father of Ethel Mertz. Besides Ricky himself, Will Potter (Irving Bacon) is the only father of the main characters on “I Love Lucy.”  Although all four have living mothers (two of whom are characters on the show), only Ethel’s father is alive and well and appears on screen in “Ethel’s Hometown” (ILL S4;E16). 

Charlie Appleby ~ Father of Stevie. Charlie makes two appearances on the series, although each time he is played by a different actor: Hy Averback played him in “Baby Pictures” (ILL S3;E5) and George O'Hanlon (inset photo) in “Lucy and Superman” (ILL S6;E13).

Harry Munson ~ Father of Billy. Harry and Grace live about a mile from the Ricardos in Connecticut. Harry is played by Tristram Coffin in two episodes: “Lucy Misses the Mertzes” (ILL S6;E17) and in “The Country Club Dance” (S6;E25). 

Ralph Ramsey ~ Father of Bruce Ramsey. The Ramseys live across from the Ricardos in Westport. Ralph (Frank Nelson) was only seen in two Connecticut-based episodes: “Lucy Gets Chummy With The Neighbors” (ILL S6;E18) and “The Country Club Dance” (ILL S6;E25), although Nelson appeared in many more episodes as different characters. 

Danny Williams ~ Father of Rusty, Linda and Terry, although Terry does not appear in “Lucy Makes Room For Danny”, the cross-over episode that brought “The Danny Thomas Show” to CBS. In fact, for its first three years, the show was known as “Make Room for Daddy.”  Subsequently, Thomas did a sequel called “Make Room for Granddaddy” and Lucille Ball guest-starred on it in 1971.

The Sheriff of Bent Fork, Tennessee ~ Father of twin girls Teensy and Weensy. Will Wright played the character in “Tennessee Bound” (ILL S4;E15). 

Mr. Stanley ~ Father to nine girls! When “Lucy Goes To The Hospital” (ILL S2;E16), Ricky meets a man in the fathers’ waiting room (played by Charles Lane) anxiously awaiting the birth of his latest (and he says last) child, whom he hopes will be a boy. His hopes are dashed - times three over!   

The Italian Farmer ~ in “Lucy’s Bicycle Trip” (ILL S5;E24), claims to have nine  children: Teresa, Sofia, Luigi, Pietro, Dino, Gino, Rosa, Mario, and Antonio!  The Farmer is played by Mario Siletti, but his "multi bambini” remain off screen!

Ernie Kovacs ~ Father of Kippie and Bette, unseen but mentioned characters in “Lucy Meets the Mustache” (LDCH S3;E3) in 1960. The girls are said to be making friends with Little Ricky, while their father entertains at Lucy and Ricky’s (last) party. 

Moving on to the Fathers of “The Lucy Show”...

Theodore J. Mooney ~ Father of Bob, Ted, Arnold, and Rosemary, who was never seen, but is said to live in Trenton and to have had a baby, making Mr. Mooney a grandfather as well! Gale Gordon played Mr. Mooney from 1963 to 1968. If the character was ever given a spin-off, it might have been called “My Three Sons”!  

Father Time ~ Played by Sherman Bagley (Ralph Hart) in “Chris’s New Year’s Eve Party” (TLS S1;E14). He is accompanied by Baby New Year played by Jerry Carmichael (Jimmy Garrett). In the series, Sherman’s father Ralph is mentioned, but never seen. Jerry’s dad is deceased and never given a name.  

Kenneth Westcott ~ Father of Debbie, who is a friend of Lucy Carmichael’s daughter Chris and Principal of their high school in 1963′s “Lucy is a Chaperone” (TLS S1;E27). He is played by Hanley Stafford. 

Mr. Sanford ~ Father of Timmy, who is having a birthday where Lucy and Viv are hired as party planners and the entertainment in “Kiddie Parties, Inc.” (TLS S2;E2). Mr. Sanford is played by Lyle Talbot. If he was ever given a sequel, it might be called “Sanford and Son”!  

Jonathan Winslow ~ Father of Charlie, Danny and Bobbie (aka Roberta) in “Lucy the Babysitter” (TLS S5;E16). What Lucy doesn’t realize is that the Winslow children are actually baby chimps!  Mr. Winslow was played by Jonathan Hole. 

In “Lucy and Harry’s Tonsils” (TLS S2;E5), Mr. Phillips (Jack Collins) plays an father expecting his first child who believes Mr. Mooney is there for the same reason, while Mr. Mooney thinks Mr. Phillips is there for a tonsillectomy! Phillips (having his third child) is similar to the character of Mr. Stanley (who is having his ninth – all girls!) in “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” (ILL S2;E16).

“Lucy Becomes a Father” (TLS S3;E9) finds single mom and widow Lucy Carmichael trying to be both mother and father to her son, Jerry. She joins five other cub scout dads on a weekend away, trying desperately to do what the other dads do. The fathers include (left to right): Hal Smith as Mr. Wilson, George ‘Red’ Fox as George (hidden), Gale Gordon as Mr. Mooney, George Niese as Mr. Carter, and Buster West as Tom. Coincidentally, Gale Gordon had the surnames Carter in “Here’s Lucy” and Wilson in “Dennis the Menace” but neither were dads! 

In the play “The Founding of Danfield” staged in “Lucy and Arthur Godfrey” (TLS S3;E23) in 1965, Godfrey plays “Daddy” of Lucybelle (Lucy Carmichael), and [spoiler alert] Conrad P. Field (Mr. Mooney) turns out to be the daddy of the Honest-But-Poor Piano Player Dan (Vinnie, played by Max Showalter). In real life, Godfrey was the father of three.  

The Father of Our Country ~ George Washington, as embodied by Lucy Carmichael when “Lucy and Viv Open a Restaurant” (TLS S2;E20). Viv (Vivian Vance) dresses a George’s wife, Martha, to promote their new Colonial-themed restaurant. 

In “Lucy the Gun Moll” (TLS S4;E25), Lucille Ball plays both Lucy Carmichael and a look-alike gun moll named Rusty, who performs the Cole Porter song “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”!

And now the Dads of “Here’s Lucy”....

Mr. Caldwell ~ Father of Laurie in “Mod, Mod Lucy” (HL S1;E1), the very first episode of “Here’s Lucy.” Lew Parker played the over-protective dad of teenage Laurie (Nancy Roth). His wife is played by Nancy Howard. Parker was best known for playing the father of another TV character, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) on “That Girl.” In real-life, Marlo’s father was Lucy’s friend and co-star - one of the most famous daddies on TV - Danny Thomas!  

On “Lucy and Johnny Carson” (HL S2;E11), while appearing on “The Tonight Show” and playing Stump the Band, Lucy Carter chooses a song titled “Snoops the Lawyer” that she says her father sang to her when she was a child.  This is the only mention of her father on the series. Coincidentally, Ball’s real mother is one of the audience members (Carson is sitting on the arm of her chair). Since the song was not written until 1920, and Lucille Ball’s real father Henry died in 1915, this cannot be a real-life recollection from Lucy. 

Lee Wong ~ Father of Linda Chang and Sue Chin in “Lucy the Laundress” (HL S2;E17). The single father and business owner was played by James Hong. 

Moose Manley ~ Father of milquetoast Wally in “Lucy and Wally Cox” (HL S2;E21). Moose was played by Alan Hale Jr. and his timid son by Wally Cox (insert). 

Harrison Otis Carter the First ~ Great Grandfather of Harry Carter IV (aka Harry). Gale Gordon’s image was used to create Harry’s great grandfather.  Harry claims he was one of the founders of Sinclairville, New York, and was father of 17 children!

Konstantin Kasos ~ Grandfather of the Bride in “Lucy’s Wedding Party” (HL S3;E8). The role was played by Bruce Gordon (”The Untouchables”) who was really just 55 years old playing a 77 Greek granddaddy. 

Vincent Price - Father of Victoria aka “Little Vicky”, the name of Price’s real-life daughter, who is mentioned by Lucy, but does not appear in the episode “Lucy Cuts Vincent’s Price” (HL S3;E9). 

Alfredo Colucci ~ Father of Ricardo, Anna Maria, Louisa, Luigi, Vincenzo, Dino, Lucrezia, Alfredo Jr., Margarito, Bruno, Rosa, and Frederico - all of whom appear in the final moments of “Lucy and Harry’s Italian Bombshell” (HL S4;E3) starring Kaye Ballard. Emile Autuori plays Alfredo, but the twelve children appear uncredited. 

Claude Wolff ~ Husband of Petula Clark, who was noticeably pregnant when they played themselves on a “Here’s Lucy” in 1972. In real-life, Wolff became a dad for the third time with the birth of his first son, Patrick. 

Harry Carter (Gale Gordon) finally got to play a working class dad to two unambitious teens when he appeared in a TV commercial during “Lucy and Cousin Ernie’s Fun Farm” (HL S1;E23) in 1969. 

Harry Carter (Gale Gordon) pretends to be a husband and father (to be) when he convinces Lucy to play his pregnant wife to scare of a domineering suitor (Jean Willes) in “Lucy, The Part-Time Wife” (HL S3;E14).  

The Lucyverse has plenty of room for fathers of all kinds. Father Lambros (Paul Picerni) showed up for a Greek wedding in “Lucy’s Wedding Party” (HL S3;E8).

And Finally, “Life With Lucy 

All Lucy Fathers come back to Gale Gordon - a man who never had children in real life!  

Curtis McGibbon ~ Father of Ted McGibbon and Grandfather of Ted’s children Rebecca and Kevin. Gale Gordon played Curtis, the patriarch on “Life With Lucy,” with Larry Anderson as Ted, Jenny Lewis as Becky, and Philip Amelio as Kevin.  

In “Mother of the Bride” (LWL S1;E8) in 1986, Lucy Barker and her sister Audrey (Audrey Meadows) mention their father during a private conversation in the kitchen.

[acidblob]

look at that woman’s face in the foreground. does she look like she’s having a good saturday night? (william anderson coffin. saturday night in august - eighth avenue)

[brielleinstitutehq]

Audrey Williams is a 43 year old TUTOR at Brielle Institute. She has undiagnosed PTSD and she looks a lot like Gillian Anderson.

MAYBE THEY’RE HIDING

Working as a homicide detective definitely came with its fair share of challenges. Seeing dead bodies nearly every day and truly being exposed to the evils people are capable of would be likely to take a mental toll on anyone, and Audrey Williams was no exception. Perhaps the only person who kept her sane throughout all of the madness was her colleague, Melissa Everett. The two of them met in the academy and stuck by each other’s side since. They both would do their best detective work when they were working together on the case as well. Seven years ago, the two of them started a new case and were trying to find the man who was targeting and killing runaway youth. It was that case that their roles flipped. During the case, Audrey was the one to keep Melissa in check. Audrey saw that her partner was becoming extremely wrapped up in this case. She would stay in the office extremely late, trying to find any missing links that they might have looked over. Often times she wouldn’t have gone home until midnight or even past midnight.

WE HOPE THEY ARE PLAYING A GAME

One morning, after nearly a year since they’ve started the case, Audrey found another link that could help them solve the case. She hurried over to Melissa’s house to tell her, but there was no answer when she rang the doorbell. She didn’t think much of it, in fact she was actually relieved. Melissa must have been sleeping, right? Something she probably desperately needed. Audrey let herself in with the spare key she had for the house after a few more tries with the doorbell. However, when she walked in the front door, she was greeted by her friend’s body lying on the cold ground with the same wounds that were found on the victims from their case. After dialing 911, she frantically reported what she was seeing, and police cars came to the crime scene nearly instantaneously. Audrey stayed outside as the other detectives investigated the crime scene, and helped the other officers keep passing civilians from entering the crime scene. Somehow one civilian snuck past the officers and nearly got into the house. However, Audrey stopped him just in time, and it was only after she frantically pulled him away to keep him from seeing the horrific sight when she realized it was Melissa’s ten year old son.

BUT THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING

After finding the body, Audrey began to unravel. The horrible sights and crimes she was exposed to every day at work were hard to deal with, but this was the nail in the coffin. She became hypervigilant, always being alert for any possible threats or dangers. Everything around her, no matter how seemingly insignificant, was reminding her of Melissa and what she saw. She also hardly got any sleep since that morning, and the times she did manage to get to sleep, she was rewarded with extreme and terrifying nightmares revolving the incident. Audrey had to escape. She had to get away from the constant reminders. She had to forget. Frustrated, the woman walked away from the police force and went back to school. She wasn’t sure exactly what she wanted to do, but she knew she didn’t want to do anything revolving murder or detective work… After a bit of thought, she decided she wanted to teach- more specifically teach kids. After working a few years to get her degree, she became a teaching aide in a public school. However, it wasn’t nearly as fulfilling as she thought it would be. She couldn’t get to know any of the kids. She barely could talk to any of them. When she saw a job offering for a tutor at Brielle Institution, however, she knew that was what she wanted to do. She could work with kids and teach them one on one, or at least in a lot smaller groups than in public school. Besides it was these kids who needed schooling and help the most, right? Little did she know, however, that one of the patients was a direct reminder of the trauma she had been trying to ignore for the past six years.

CONNECTIONS: Ex-Colleague to Leo Everett’s mother

Fortunately, Audrey is OPEN!

Samuel “Sambo” Anderson (c. 1750’s - February 20, 1845) was one of the enslaved people on George Washington’s plantation, Mount Vernon. His early history is unclear but what is known is he was from what is now the west African nation of Guinea. He claimed to have been part of a royal family in the region before his capture and enslavement. Washington purchased him sometime in the late 1750s and quickly put him to work at Mount Vernon. While living enslaved at Mount Vernon, he worked as a carpenter. He helped build and repair plows, carts, wheels, door and window frames, livestock pens, fishing boats, and even coffins. He and other skilled craftsmen built the storehouses, barns, and overseer’s houses at Washington’s plantation. The wooden mantle on the Mount Vernon mansion’s dining room fireplace was designed by Bernard Sears, an English craftsman in 1775, he and other enslaved craftsmen built the structure. The work he and other skilled craftsmen ensured that Mount Vernon was self-sufficient. He earned enough money to purchase and free some of his still enslaved family members including his daughter Charity, his grandchildren William and Eliza, and Eliza’s children James, William, and John. In the 1830s, he and his grandson William, along with 12 other former slaves and their descendants, returned to Mount Vernon to help with the construction of the new tomb for George Washington. He remained at Mount Vernon. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4v58qrXNC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⚡⚡Oglala Chief Long Wolf (Shunkmanitu Hanska) and family

Oglala Chief Long Wolf (Shunkmanitu Hanska) had been historically forgotten for about a hundred years, before in 1997 his name was mentioned in several newspaper articles. He died in 1892 as a member of “Buffalo Bill´s” Wild West show in London, England and had been buried there, but in the 1990s his descendants managed to get his remains re-buried at his home on the Pine Ridge reservation.

Long Wolf´s name first was recorded in 1870, when he was part of the delegation led by Red Cloud to Washington, probably a member of the Bad Face contingent.

In his earlier days he must have been in many battles, because it was later noted that his body was scarred by many wounds he received. Hence while he later was with William Cody´s Wild West show he was called “Lame Warrior” : “He was an Indian chief called Shug-a-man-a ´o-Haska or Long Wolf, nicknamed by the tribe of Ogalallas, Lame Warrior.“ (according to Dr. Maitland Coffin, 1892)

The Birmingham Daily Post stated in 1892: “Long Wolf is an “old-time warrior”, with a great record, which served him in good stead as a conciliator of the rebels.”

Some sources state that he was in the Battle at the Little Bighorn as well.

He started as a performer in the Buffalo Bill troupe as early as 1886 and continued to work for Cody until his death in 1892. At least in 1886 he took his family along, his wife Wants, his daughter Lizzie and two younger children.

Although he worked for white men, he continued to keep his traditions as a Lakota Indian. There is a short note, possibly by New York photographer D.H. Anderson or a fellow member of the Wild West show, on Long Wolf in 1886:

“When indians were sent back to reservation at end of season civilian clothes were given to all indians. This chief took the clothes but would not wear them or allow any of his family to wear them. He rolled all the clothes up in a blanket and went home as a real indian. Chief Long Wolf had very little to say to any of the Indians and could not speak English. This was in fall of 1886.”

(hand-written on back of a photo card by David H. Anderson, photographer of New York)

He already was acknowledged as a chief among the Wild West performers in 1886, alongside American Horse and Rocky Bear. Although later Lakotas like No Neck and Rocky Bear were more often cited as leaders of the show Indians, there are other sources that say that Long Wolf was the leading man of the Lakotas with Cody.

When he was not on tour with the show, he was a prominent man on the Pine Ridge reservation, being mentioned as a leading member in the Indian Police service.

According to Sam Maddra´s excellent book “Hostiles?: The Lakota Ghost Dance and Buffalo Bill´s Wild West” (Oklahoma Press) he had been admitted to the West London Hospital on 5 June 1892. He died there six days later, 59 years of age, on June 11th. While some sources say he caught a serious fever or of pneumonia , Maddra´s cites he died “due partly to old age, and partly to trouble caused by his numerous old wounds received in battle”.

He was buried in West Brompton Cemetery on June 13, 1892.
