As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for true crime narratives and a soft spot for ’90s tunes, I must say that Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has left me both intrigued and amused. This series, under the masterful direction of Ryan Murphy, takes us on a gripping journey into the lives of the infamous brothers, set against the backdrop of some catchy tunes that were all over the radio during their heyday.


Despite delving into a grim and somber tale for the true crime series titled “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”, it still incorporates cheerful melodies as part of its soundtrack.

In a fresh, nine-episode production by Ryan Murphy, the story unfolds based on the true events surrounding the two brothers who, back in 1996, were found guilty of murdering their parents, José and Kitty Menendez.

In my perspective as a movie reviewer, this drama delves deep into the captivating historical case that sent shockwaves around the globe, sparking today’s widespread interest in true crime. Yet, it doesn’t merely entertain; it provokes its viewers to ponder: Who among us are truly the monsters?

The official soundtrack comes from Emmy winner and 15-time Oscar nominee Thomas Newman (Skyfall, Elemental) and his daughter Julia, who previously collaborated on the score for Murphy’s previous project, Feud: Capote vs the Swans.

However, when it comes to the other songs in the mix, you’ll find several well-known ’90s tracks that complement the rough storyline. Dive into the following details for a complete rundown on the soundtrack of the latest Netflix series.

Who composed the score for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story?

The music for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is created by the duo, Thomas Newman and his daughter Julia Newman.

In their past collaborations, the team consisting of a father and daughter had joint efforts on the series “Feud.” Notably, this project served as Julia’s debut into composing a significant musical score for a production.
