Biography
Mrs. Blankenship was an elderly woman who lived on Lampkin Lane in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois. She was a member of the Cult of Thorn. In 1963 she was babysitting Michael Myers, whom she knew heard voices in his head, which was all in service to the cult and its aims. On Halloween night, six-year-old Michael Myers heeded those voices and slaughtered his older sister, Judith Myers, as part of a some form of ritualistic sacrifice. Whether Blankenship had any direct influence on Michael's that night is unknown.

Decades later, Mrs. Blanekship's home was being used as a boarding house. Tommy Doyle lived there for a time and did research on the cult, never realizing that Mrs. Blankenship was a member. Blankenship spoke with six-year-old Danny Strode, who likewise began to hear voices, in much the same way that Michael did so many years earlier. Danny had been living in the Myers residence at this time.

Mrs. Blankenship went to the cult's headquarters at Smith's Grove Sanitarium where she would partake in a Druid ritual. Michael Myers went on a rampage at the hospital, slaughtering nearly all of the cult members. Mrs. Blankenship was very likely one of his victims, though this is unclear.
