It’s Halloween Night on Dancing With the Stars Juniors 2018, which means the ballroom could get a little creepy. There are eight remaining teams left in the competition and each of them will put on a “spooky” performance. According to ABC, “The electrifying night kicks off with a chilling opening number, choreographed by judge Mandy Moore and featuring the eight teams. Each couple will then perform an Argentine tango, paso doblé, jazz, jive, Charleston or samba. At the end of the night, there will be an elimination. The studio audience vote is combined with the judges’ scores to determine who goes home at the end of each episode.”

DWTS Juniors is a pre-taped show, unlike the regular Dancing With the Stars series. Frankie Muniz and Jordan Fisher are the co-hosts and recently Fisher dished on the contestants to Pop Culture. Fisher confessed, “I did not know how emotional involved and attached I would grow to the kids and their families, their journeys, their experiences. I’m like a proud papa, honestly. I miss them so much when they’re not around. The ballroom misses them, all of the crew, the creative team. Everybody does.”
When it comes to this season’s winners, the exact info has not yet been reported, but there are some major spoilers. If you do NOT want to know any DWTS Juniors spoilers, STOP READING NOW.

Tomorrow night airs season 27 of Dancing With the Stars and it’s Halloween Night for that show as well. The mentors from tonight’s show will appear as troupe dancers and pro partners in the ballroom tomorrow.
