Last week’s “Dedication Night” is one of the most beloved themes on “Dancing With the Stars,” which had an added bonus: No one was eliminated! Now, another fan-favorite theme is taking center stage tonight as the remaining 10 contestants and their professional partners hit the ballroom floor for “Horror Movie Night,” just in time for Halloween.
Celebrities and their pros will put on their best spooky and scary looks to take on dance routines inspired by horror films, including “Sinners,” “The Lost Boys,” and “Annabelle: Creation” to name a few.
However, the night will get even more scarier as not one but two contestants will face elimination tonight.
