Rodney Alcala commits a series of grisly murders in the 1970s. While the mother of one of his victims desperately searches for answers, Rodney maintains his intelligent, smooth-talking persona, even appearing as a bachelor on "The Dating Game."

Production

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Alcala won The Dating Game in 1978; the bachelorette found him 'creepy' and refused the date. Smart woman.
Director Peter Medak also made The Krays and Romeo Is Bleeding—he clearly has a thing for charming monsters.
