The eight remaining couples have spent the week learning all of the bloodcurdling tricks that it will take to treat the viewers to some terrifyingly fun dances, as Halloween Night comes to “Dancing with the Stars,” live, MONDAY, OCTOBER 30 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. Each couple will perform a Charleston, contemporary, paso doblé, jive, tango or Viennese waltz.

In addition, the celebrities and their pros will be grouped into two teams – Team Monster Mash (team captain is Terrell Owens) and Team Phantom of the Opera (team captain Drew Scott) – with each performing a dance to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve. The two team captains were chosen because they had the lowest cumulative scores across the season, and they were given the chance to pick their teams in order to help boost their rankings with both the judges and viewers. The team dance scores will be combined with the celebrity’s individual dance scores for a final tally.

There will be an elimination at the end of the night, based on scores and votes from last Monday.
