The outrageously titled "Dahmer - The Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" dominated social media buzz for several weeks in September 2021 While Dahmer's story is well-told, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan have adopted an anthological approach, drawing inspiration from Murphy's American Horror Story The second season is called "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story" and follows the shocking murders committed by the brothers in the 1980s
