"Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" follows the murder case that captivated America's attention in the 90s. While the two brothers are still serving time behind bars, recent discoveries about their music executive father's inappropriate behavior have led to a more nuanced inspection of their claims of sexual abuse.

While showrunners Murphy and Ian Brennan's portrayal of the brothers dips a toe into incest territory, the following documentaries provide a glimpse into the real events that inspired the campy, Murphy reimagining.
