Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has finally been released. Click inside to check it out!
Following the massive success of DAHMER, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology series returns with
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.
While the prosecution argued that they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed (and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole) that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.
