He wore a black leather vest that featured crystallized sparkling and dangling chains and studded detailing along the hems, even featuring straps along the arms.

It didn't feature sleeves, allowing him to show off his very toned arms, and paired it with matching black pants, reminiscent of the leather bar scene that was extremely popular in the 60s and 70s.

All the judges went all out for the night, as Derek Hough and Len Goodman wore devil-themed costumes and Carrie Ann Inaba was clearly inspired by a mixture of crows and Game of Thrones.

The contestants brought the Halloween flair to the ballroom even harder at the halfway point of the season, complete with full costume intricate make-up, and even more intricate routines.

While all of them gave it their all for the performances, fright night made the fears real for one couple, that being Jordin Sparks and professional partner Brandon Armstrong in a surprise decision.

The judges noted that their performance was strong, with Len saying that she had a breakthrough, and after the team relay, their total scores amounted to 69 out of 80, with an individual 36.

After landing in the bottom two against Heidi D'Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev, their fates were left up to the judges, who voted to save Heidi with great difficulty after leaving the vote split.

On the other side of the leaderboard were Shangela and Gleb Savchenko, who leap-frogged across the rest of the early frontrunners to get their first perfect score of the season for their individual performance.
