New York City detective Steve Burns Al Pacino receives orders from Captain Edelson Paul Sorvino to solve a series of brutal murders in the gay community. Steve scours the gay bars that caters to same-sex sadomasochism in a desperate attempt to solve the crime. As he infiltrates the scene, he slowly comes loose from the moorings of his own reality, and an innocent victim is tortured by the cops in an effort to exact a confession. The story is based on actual murders that took place between 1962 and 1979. The film gained considerable publicity because of the controversial subject matter while censor argued between an X and R rating for the feature. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Hoping to save Bramwell (Jonathan Frid) from meeting his doom in the locked room, Catherine is trapped in the same room by the vengeful Morgan (Keith Prentice). Episode 1,243 of Dark Shadows first aired on March 31, 1971. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bramwell (Jonathan Frid) and Catherine (Lara Parker) survive their night in the dreaded room, and in the process defeat the ghost of Brutus Collins (Louis Edmonds) and break the family curse. But upon emerging from the room, the couple faces death at the hands of Morgan (Keith Prentice), whose hands are stayed by Kendrick (John Karlen). Recovering from her madness, Melanie (Nancy Barrett) leaves Collinwood with Kendrick, and Bramwell and Catherine likewise go off together. A satisfying denouement for all, except Morgan, who dies, and possibly Melanie, whose neck bears a set of all-too-familiar red marks. And thus, with several plot strands left dangling and with the cast still locked into the "Parallel Time" version of 1841, did the five-year saga of Dark Shadows come to an abrupt end on April 2, 1971. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
