Storyline
| Plot Summary |
While the prosecution argued 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. "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences' modern-day fascination with true crime and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had one rule, from Ryan Murphy [Creator] to follow going into the series: that it would never be told from Dahmer's point of view. "As an audience, you're not really sympathizing with him. You're not really getting into his plight. You're more sort of watching it, you know, from the outside." See more » |
| Goofs | In many episodes there is a 3M Command(TM) strip shown in Jeffery Dahmer's apartment kitchen, this takes place in 1991 by the latest. 3M debuted its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996. See more » |
