The eight remaining couples will perform an individual Halloween-themed routine in addition to a competitive team dance. For the team dances, the cast has been divided into two frightening teams: Team #Nightmare and Team #WhoYouGonnaCall. These two teams will compete against each other, vying for a perfectly wicked score from the judges. Actress and "Dancing with the Stars" Season 17 semi-finalist Leah Remini also returns to guest co-host alongside Tom Bergeron. At the end of the night, one couple will face elimination.

For the first routine, the couples will reveal a dance style not yet performed this season. Later in the show, they will be moved into teams to perform a side-by-side dance. Inspiration for the team routines were drawn from each teams' travels around the country to experience live productions of famous shows such as The Beatles(TM) LOVE(TM) by Cirque du Soleil(R), Broadway's Chicago and Royal Caribbean's "We Will Rock You." At the end of the night, one couple will be eliminated.
