Last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS delivered a 'spooktacular' night filled with scary and chilling performances. The eight remaining couples performed an individual Halloween-themed routine in addition to a competitive team dance.

For the team dances, the cast was divided into two frightening teams: #TeamCreepDuSoleil and #TeamItsyBitsy. The two teams competed against each other, vying for a perfectly wicked score from the judges.

Broadway vet Janel Parrish and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed a super creepy Halloween Waltz to the theme song from her ABC Family series, 'Pretty Little Liars.' The couple earned a 31 out of 40 points. Check out the performance below!
