When Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother were murdered with a hatchet in their Massachusetts home in 1892, the 32-year-old became the prime suspect.
Although Lizzie was later acquitted of her crimes, the case has continued to fascinate people, and is still being discussed more than a century later.
Now, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Netflix anthology series, Monster, has brought Lizzie’s gruesome story to the forefront yet again – albeit with some creative license applied.
Starring Ella Beatty alongside Charlie Hunnam and Rebecca Hall, true crime fans have been tuning in to watch the fourth iteration of Monster, which explores themes of female rage and repression, in their droves.
But how did the Monster team go about bringing The Lizzie Borden Story to the small screen in all its gore-filled glory?
