Los Angeles – The Halloween‑themed episode of Dancing with the Stars turned the studio into a spooky stage, with each couple performing a dance inspired by a classic horror film. Costumes and choreography pushed creative limits, and the judges rewarded standout performances with high scores.
Perfect Score and Top Performances
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned a flawless 40‑point score for their contemporary routine set to “Toxic” by 2WEI, drawing on the film Saw. All four judges praised the act as perfect, impactful, and unprecedented.
Other notable scores included Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov’s 36 points for an Argentine tango to “Perfection” by Clint Mansell, and Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy’s 37 points for a tango inspired by zombie movies.
Double Elimination
Because no couple was eliminated the previous week, the show featured a double elimination. Jackson Olson and Emma Slater, as well as Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess, were the two pairs sent home after the Halloween‑filled night.
The remaining couples will return for a special Disney Night on Monday, November 2, with guest judge Cynthia Erivo joining the panel.
