The Menendez Brothers are back in the spotlight this Halloween season, with eBay sellers offering up a range of costumes and clothing inspired by the infamous siblings’ story.
One seller has listed a Los Angeles County Jail uniform that resembles Lyle’s prison “overalls,” while another is selling a blue L.A. County Jail shirt similar to those worn by Erik and Lyle. These items have already generated interest and sales, so if you want to dress the part, you’ll need to act fast.
TikTok is also getting in on the trend, showcasing preppy ’80s ensembles reminiscent of Erik and Lyle’s days as student tennis athletes. Sellers are making it easy to find Menendez-inspired clothing items, including chunky blue sweaters and designer jackets tagged with the brothers’ surname.
The recent release of Ryan Murphy’s TV series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” and the documentary “The Menendez Brothers” has brought the brothers’ faces back into the public eye. Additionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is reviewing new evidence in the case, raising the possibility of freedom for Erik and Lyle.
With all this renewed interest in the Menendez Brothers, it’s no surprise that eBay is capitalizing on the trend. If you want to rock a Menendez-inspired costume this Halloween, now is the time to shop before it’s too late to ship items in time for the spooky holiday.
