Rodney Alcala: The Dating Game Killer & the Psychological Impact of Predators


This week on Terror Talk, we delve into the twisted mind of Rodney Alcala, the so-called “Dating Game Killer.” Known for his charm and good looks, Alcala was a manipulative predator whose crimes shocked the nation. We explore his psychopathy, criminal behavior, and the chilling psychology behind his ability to deceive and harm.

We also discuss Woman of the Hour, Anna Kendrick’s powerful directorial debut based on Alcala’s infamous appearance on The Dating Game. How does the film bring attention to the dangers of trusting outward appearances, and what can we learn about staying vigilant against predators?

As psychologists, we break down the psychology of Alcala’s predatory behavior and discuss how women can better assess risk when encountering manipulative individuals.


What You'll Hear in This Episode:

  • An overview of Rodney Alcala’s crimes, his trial, and his eerie charm.
  • Insights into Alcala’s psychopathy and criminal pathology.
  • How Alcala’s appearance on The Dating Game reflects his manipulative tendencies.
  • A discussion of Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour and its portrayal of Alcala and his victims.
  • Tools and strategies for identifying and responding to predatory behavior.


Why You Should Listen:
Whether you’re a true crime fan or someone fascinated by the psychology of predators, this episode offers an in-depth exploration of one of history’s most notorious serial killers and the lessons his case can teach us about personal safety.
