Designing True Crime: Inside Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story Sets with Melissa Leitch and Matthew Flood Ferguson

Welcome back to Decorating Pages! Today, we're diving into the dark and intricate world of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Set in 1980 and 90’s Los Angeles, this season tells the haunting story of the Menendez family, whose polished, wealthy image masked a far more complicated and troubled reality. Joining me are Production Designer Matthew Flood Ferguson and Set Decorator Melissa Licht, whose work on this series brings the hidden turmoil of the Menendez family to life. Matthew and Melissa created spaces that tell a story within a story. From the pristine common rooms that reflect ‘new money’ luxury, to the messy, private spaces that reveal a deeper, darker psychological layer, every detail was designed to capture the paradoxes of the Menendez family. With careful recreations of period landmarks like Spago, authentic interiors like the Chateau Marmont suite, courtrooms,  jails, and a subtle blend of symbolic elements, their work immerses us in a world that feels both glamorous and unsettling.
