Biography
Sally Winters grew up in the Orange Grove neighborhood of the city of Haddonfield, Illinois in the 1970s.

In 1978, she was a teenager, approximately seventeen-years-old and attended school at Haddonfield High School. On October 31st of that year, Halloween night, Sally was home sick with the flu. However, she heard her neighbor, Alice Martin, being murdered. The killer was Michael Myers - the older brother of Sally's friend, Laurie Strode. Myers attempted to kill Strode at her home, and again the following evening at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, but Laurie survived, and Myers disappeared.

In the months following the attacks, Sally became Laurie's closest friends. Both girls engaged in recreational use of drugs and alcohol, though for Laurie, it was more of a coping mechanism. In May of 1979, both girls attended graduation. Laurie was highly intoxicated, and Sally gave her some allergy medication to prevent her from vomiting.

That night, they attended a graduation costume party at Mike Aspinwall's house. Sally consumed quite a bit of alcohol and did some lines of cocaine. By the end of the night, she was having sex with two men in one of the bedrooms.

What became of Sally following graduation is unclear. Although there is no account of anything untoward happening to her, a relative of hers became obsessive about researching Michael Myers, implying that Michael may have murdered her at some point.
