Here Are The ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Halloween Night Songs And Dances

The spookiest night of Dancing With the Stars is finally here. Halloween Night will see the nine remaining couples take to the dance floor for some spine-chilling routines, and the episode will also feature the return of the fan-favorite dance marathon challenge.

Last week, the couples performed hit songs from Wicked and Wicked: For Good, earning some of the highest scores of the season so far. Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, as well as Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, received three 10s and one nine from the judges — including guest judge Wicked director Jon M. Chu — for their magical, technically impressive routines. (Check out the full recap for Wicked Night below.)

Although Andy Richter and Emma Slater once again found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard, they weren’t the pair eliminated at the end of Wicked Night. Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold were unfortunately sent home after receiving the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes from Dedication Night and Wicked Night.

“I had so much fun, I learned so much, and it’s Wicked Night — that’s the perfect way to go,” Hoying said after his elimination. Meanwhile, Arnold added of her partner, “You did amazing this season, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner, and I love you.” (Don’t forget to vote for your favorites during the two-hour broadcast to help them advance in the competition.)

The next episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 34 will air on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. New episodes are available to stream on ABC.com and Hulu the day after they air.

What Is The Dancing With The Stars Theme For Week 7?

The Week 7 theme of Dancing With the Stars is Halloween Night, airing just days before Halloween. The annual episode will include spooky professional and partner dances, as well as the return of the dance marathon challenge.

Viewers can look forward to performances to “Sympathy Is a Knife” by Charli XCX featuring Ariana Grande and “The Dead Dance” by Lady Gaga. Jan Ravnik and Jenna Johnson will also perform a routine to “CANCELLED!” by Taylor Swift. Ravnik previously danced on Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour and recently appeared in her music video for “The Fate of Ophelia.”

Two-time Mirrorball champion Cheryl Burke is also returning as a guest judge. Burke retired as a professional dancer on the show in November 22.

“It’s gonna be emotional, but I am here in a different way this time,” Burke told People ahead of her DWTS return. “I’m here for the couples, and I really hope to be able to give constructive criticism, but also be encouraging. And I know what it takes. I have been there.”

What Is The DWTS Halloween Night Dance Marathon?

Halloween Night will also feature the return of “Dance Monster-thon.” During the dance challenge, all nine couples will take to the ballroom at the same time. They’ll first dance a Hustle to “Murder On The Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, then the Lindy Hop to “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” by Fergie, Q-Tip and GoonRock. As they dance, the judges will tap out couples one at a time.

The contestants earn bonus points based on how long they stay in the dance marathon. The last couple standing will be crowned king and queen of “Dance Monster-thon.” These bonus points will be added to the judges’ scores from the first round to create the final combined leaderboard of the night, according to ABC.
