Lunchtime Poll: Which Lizzie would you rather be axe murdered by? 

It will never fail to amuse us how Hollywood can rarely go more than, say, six months without announcing competing projects about the same topic. Today we hear news that Elizabeth Olsen (surely feeling the love from the WandaVision reception) will be playing axe murderer Candy Montgomery in an HBO miniseries called Love and Death based on the non-fiction book "Evidence of Love: True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs". This book was previously adapted into a TV movie A Killing in a Small Town which won Barbara Hershey the Golden Globe in the 1990s. But this miniseries is NOT the same project as the previously announced Candy which is based on the same crime with Elisabeth Moss headlining. But since we haven't heard a peep about the Moss project in several months, maybe that one isn't happening after all. 

Nevertheless it all begs the question: Which Lizzie would you rather be axe murdered by?

I find the Lizzie Borden case fascinating still; it's the sort of real-life version of the creepazoid 19th Century New England spinster that Melville or Hawthorne should have written about. Such an intriguing "stranger than fiction" story that I'm not surprised the tale is still being interpreted. Whether I'd prefer the real-life Lizzie, or her distant cousin Lizzie Montgomery, doing the deed on me, I'm not sure. I even enjoyed the cold Chloe Sevigny movie that came out not long ago.

Elizabeth Olsen because at least I know she'll kill me... gently.

I'll embrace the nostalgia of Emmy nominated Elizabeth Montgomery in the 1975 made for television flick The Legend of Lizzie Borden.

Lizzie Moss’s Candy should be a movie so that she can finally get that Oscar nom.
Rooting for Lizzie Olsen for her miniseries though.

I'm with the others who would prefer Elizabeth Montgomery. She was fantastic in that film.

Fascinated with the historical mythology built around Lizzie Borden - maybe a hardened murderer, maybe a murderous free spirit. She would make a great character in Sondheim's "Assassins".

Bushwick - LOL

I know Elisabeth moss would act the hell out of that murder scene so she gets the edge. I would get my 15 minutes of fame being in her film clip when she gets an independent spirit award nom for it
