The third and final installment of my Spooky Season Series Selection is the recently released, season 3 of Monsters. Season 3, again created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, focuses on one of the most infamous and influential individuals in true crime history. Often dubbed as the “Ghoul of Plainfield”, the “Grandfather of Gore”, and the “Plainfield Butcher” is the one and only Ed Gein. Gein would later become the pinnacle of villainous actions and the inspiration for some of the most iconic horror films ever released. Today’s Spooky Season Series Selection is Monster: The Ed Gein Story.

Spooky Season Series Selection Part 2 - Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

Austin Price, Editor in Chief

In continuing my Spooky Season Series Selection, we have another series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan for Netflix. Today’s selection is the second season of the Monster series and focuses on a controversial and highly debated case. The disputation of this case was mainly due to the extensive media coverage and exploitation of all involved through the televised process. In a harrowing account of childhood abuse and the greed of the American Dream, comes the biased story of the Menendez brothers. Today’s Spooky Season Series Selection is Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
