'Dancing with the Stars' season 27 recap: Spooky Halloween Night ends with two perfect scores and Mary Lou Retton going home

Even the possibility of a double elimination couldn't tone down all the spooky Halloween-vibes that the star contestants of this season brought to the dance floor.

It was Halloween Night on ABC's hit reality show, 'Dancing with the Stars' season 27 and just like we had expected, week six was every bit as spooky as the theme of the night promised it would be! While there was no magical Disney bliss in the air ensuring that none of the contestants went home, unlike last episode, even the possibility of a double elimination couldn't tone down all the festive fall and spooky Halloween-vibes that the star contestants of this season brought to the dance floor.

Kicking off the episode was a spine-chilling opening number featuring the stars and pros dancing to a twist on the Halloween perennial 'Purple People Eater', choreographed by the show’s own Emmy-winning Mandy Moore. This was followed by a shockingly good performance from 'Dancing with the Stars: Live!,' featuring the tour cast — Witney Carson, Emma Slater, Jenna Johnson, Gleb Savacheko, Artem Chigvintsev, Alan Bersten, Sasha Farber, Brandon Armstrong, Hayley Erbert and Britt Stewart.
