\n\t[This story contains spoilers for episode eight of Dancing With the Stars<\/a> season 35.]<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Halloween just a few days away, Dancing With the Stars is celebrating the holiday in the ballroom with a night full of dances inspired by horror movies. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis week, the couples danced to songs from classic and new horror hits. Some of the films that inspired the DWTS<\/a> couples this week include Sinners, Black Swan and Joker, among others.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the end of the episode, Jackson Olson and Emma Slater were eliminated alongside Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess.<\/p>\n

\n\tCelebrities<\/a> still competing on season 35 include Tatyana Ali<\/a>, Jenna Dewan<\/a>, Ezra Frech, Amber Glenn<\/a>, Maura Higgins, Harry Shum Jr., Julia Stiles and Connor Wood.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo couples were eliminated at the end of last week\u2019s Dedication Night<\/a>, meaning two couples were instead eliminated at the end of Tuesday\u2019s episode; the two eliminated couples were determined by a combination of judges\u2019 scores and viewer votes from both Dedication and Horror Movie Night. <\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Shirley Ballas joined the judges panel as a guest judge for this week. She wasted no time buckling down on her scoring, giving Julia and Ezra Sosa a four; she went on to also give Tatyana and Jan Ravnik the same score while her counterparts gave them each eights.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second couple to perform, Harry and Jenna Johnson, made their mark by becoming the first pair to earn a perfect score on season 35. They earned the high marking for their contemporary dance to \u201cToxic\u201d by 2WEI, inspired by Saw. <\/p>\n

\n\tJenna and Val Chmerkovskiy and Connor and Rylee Arnold trailed Harry\u2019s high score, both scoring a 37\/40, leaving the Grey\u2019s Anatomy actor as the sole top of the leaderboard for the spooky episode.<\/p>\n

\n\tHorror Movie Night also saw Val return<\/a> to the ballroom after his one-week suspension<\/a> following his allusion to Will Smith\u2019s infamous Oscars slap<\/a> while critiquing Carrie Ann Inaba<\/a>\u2019s judging of his wife, Jenna Johnson. <\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the pretaped video package before their performance Argentine tango inspired by zombie films, Val told the Step Up star, \u201cWe are back together. I am so sorry for all the chaos. You did not sign up for that, and I feel awful.\u201d Dewan responded, \u201cI forgive you,\u201d and hugged. Carrie Ann also commended Val\u2019s choreography during her critiques, noting, \u201cIncredible choreography, Val. I wanna say that first. Incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a tease for next week\u2019s Disney-themed episode, Alfonso Ribeiro also announced that Cynthia Erivo will be joining as a guest judge.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe couple with the lowest combined total of judges\u2019 scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each DWTS episode. Each viewer is allowed up to 10 votes per couple, per voting method (via ABC<\/a>\u2019s website and by text).<\/p>\n

\n\tLive voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance; that means if you\u2019re a West Coast viewer and want to vote<\/a>, you must do so between 5 p.m. PT and roughly 6:45 p.m. PT, as voting ends after the final performance.<\/p>\n
