More from Inside Edition:
A bachelor looking for love on ‘The Dating Game’ in the 1970s, who wound up sitting next to a serial killer during the show, remains haunted by the encounter nearly 40 years later. No one had any idea that Rodney Alcala had already launched his killing spree when he appeared on the popular dating show in 1978. Jed Mills was Bachelor No. 2 on the episode. Alcala was Bachelor No. 1. “He was a really creepy guy, a real idiot,” Mills told Inside Edition. #InsideEdition
Contestant on Dating Game Show Turned Out to be a Serial Killer
The actor looked nothing like him just the wig
“Eerie resemblance” – the actor looks nothing like him.
Smart girl stupid show 😢
They always pick the wrong guy
1:24 i see no resemblance. They threw a wig on an overweight middle aged man
They just had to make him look ugly in the movie. 😂
No surprise here,American society is a sick one.
Proves women prefer serial killers
Who came from that TikTok slide?
Also it wasn’t Richard Ramirez on the dating show it was some dude named Rodney Ancala
Well who would knew.? A serial killer wouldn't announce he's a serial killer. Lol
That’s messed up
american times in america
"eerie resemblance" 🤣
My cousin said damn he is cute
This and the Newlywed Game were horrible, sick and sleazy, along with cheapo prizes. Probably resulted in a lot of date rapes.
0:03
The fact that they made a movie of him just means he won in the end
I thought the killer was Ted bundy
Good old Hollywood, washed up Hollywood 😈
the actor should lose ar least 30 kg in order to play the model-like Alcala
0:36 Reminds me of fnaf
Alcala looks like Elder Toguro in Yu Yu Hakusho Anime
Ahaha this guy is a riot, “he was a real creepy guy, a real IDIOT!”.
I was expecting the first half of what he was saying, but not the second.
Please no resemblance seen. Keep it moving.
The eerie resemblance? The real killer looks creepy and scary, the actor looks hilarious and nothing like him.
Take it from me good looks will get u very far in this world.
not him
1:23 Yeah, they look absolutely nothing alike, ZERO
The bachelorette had a good feeling not to go out with the killer, even though he was charming
My mother and brother swear this creep almost killed them on a hike they took while my father and I were out fishing at a lake that would have been near his route between LA and Seattle in the late 70's. My mother would have been in her early thirties and my brother would have been 9 or 10. The guy had a large knife he was throwing at a tree on a remote trail. They passed him and received creepy stares from him. A bit of a distance after they passed him my mother decided to turn around and go back as there would be no easy escape if they continued. My mother placed my brother behind her and told him that she would take any attack and for him to run as fast as he could. As they approached him he walked toward them with his knife drawn and an evil grin across his face. As he was closing in and from seemingly out of nowhere, a group of people ran down the trail, freaking the man out and he ran off into the brush and trees. My mother told my brother to run after the party and they took off. I remember the story but it wasn't until recently that my brother and mother said it was Alcala after looking at his mugshot from 1979.
Resemblance? 🤣🤣
The actor who played the killer is also the Fastfood Killer😂😂😂
Why is the actor chubby? The real life killer looks really lean. 🤦 Casting failure
"No one had any idea"
I mean he was a convicted child molester at this point, a little girl was found in his house beaten and raped with a heavy metal bar laid on her throat to slowly kill her. She survived, but he only a got a short sentence for it. So some people definitely knew.
The resemblance had me 😂😂😂😂
What is the title of the documentary movie?
40 yeas has passed and Jeff still salty they chose a serial killer instead of him 😅
This isn’t the only time a murderer appeared on a game show
What was the guy even thinking, imagine they did a follow up episode on the date, if she actually went.
So, how did your date go?!
Okay but the actor they chose looks literally nothing like him💀💀😭😭
😮😮
Both men look creepy!
How come Christian Bale did not play this Guy
He Literally looks like him just had a Haircut
It's amazing he didn't kill that woman anyway after the rejection.
This is the worst reporting I've ever seen in my life. How TF did this imbecile say that the actor and Alcala had a "striking resemblance"? They got a fat actor that they hired looks nothing like the slender Rodney Alcala. I got cataracts and I can see better than this clow. 🙄🤦🏾♂️
Offence intended but the real Alcala looked normal because he was good looking. The actor playing him is very ugly, there’s no resemblance. But maybe that’s what they were going for?
Scary. I think she knew something weird about him. Vibes. Im sure she is still alive and heard about his crimes. Alcala molested boys too. I saw a show about that. Be careful out there. I almost was a victim too but not in that circumstance. I was robbed at knifepoint to my throat. I had some ptsd but therapy helped. I was at the wrong place wrong time scenario. I thank my lucky stars and whatever was protecting me.
Erie resemblance? Your eyes broke?
Absolutely ZERO resemblance!
