“In the 1970s Rodney Alcala went on a murder spree, luring women by posing as a photographer looking for models,” reads the synopsis. “Though already a registered sex offender and recently released from prison, he infamously appeared on The Dating Game, a show that introduced a set of three new bachelors each week, hidden from view as a woman asked them amusing questions before choosing a winner to go on an all-expenses-paid trip with her.”
