Guide to Every Criminal in Ryan Murphy’s 'Monster': Menendez Bros, Ed Gein

Ryan Murphy's 'Monster' anthology series explores some of the most infamous killers, including Jeffery Dahmer and Ed Gein

Murphy, however, stood by his work and even claimed that Monsters created renewed support in the Menéndez case, which ultimately led to a new hearing being ordered by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. Now titled Monsters, the season chronicled Lyle ( Nicholas Chavez) and Erik's ( Cooper Koch) 1989 arrest for the murder of their parents, José ( Javier Bardem) and Kitty ( Chloë Sevigny). Taking inspiration from footage of the trial and subsequent interviews, Monsters mirrored key moments from Lyle and Erik's lives before and after they were sentenced to life without parole for shooting their mother and father.
