This season, however, its all about breaking necks.
Seriously, Tom keeps a running count of how many routines feature choreography that mimics breaking someones neck.
Its four out of nine by the end of the evening, which is like, three too many.

But not everything is a nightmare some things are a straight-up dream come true.
Um, remember when just two weeks ago I wasaching for Allison Holkerto grace the dance floor again?
She joins her husband tWitch in their routine.
You guys, The Secret is real and should not be messed with.
If that isnt spooky enough for you, perhaps our couples routines will give you your Halloween fix.
I still have nightmares.
Milo and Witney are so in sync as the patient who has lost his mind and his hallucination.
Carrie Ann is right to call out how amazing their partner work has been this season.
Even Len, arch-enemy of jazz and contemporary, is all hyped up after this one.
The judges are extremely harsh on the pair.
They thought John never really found his footing and there were mistakes all over the dance floor.
Len applauds what they did while in-hold, so thats something.
So this week hes continuing to push his limits, which apparently are his hips.
Lindsay focuses in on getting them in shape, which honestly sounds like a dream job.
Maybe she should be focusing on that insane dead drop lift they put into the routine because HOLY HELL.
But, like, hips, I get it.
Will I ever get a 10?
Evanna wonders, distraught in the bowels of the ballroom.
Halloween is supposed to be spooky and scary, but not sad!
And maybe for cats.
The girl loves cats!
So she embodies one for this strong, intense tango and it pays off.
I guess we should talk about cat energy some more.
Seriously, anything with open windows and curtains blowing in the wind, I am getting chills.
I mean, that knee slide alone should earn him some bonus points.
They should be getting 10s just for that display of love for the holiday.
Am I dead inside?
But at least its on theme.
Whatever works, I guess?
It truly looked like an Argentine tango and Len calls it Joes best dance.
Get you a man who can do both.
And Cheryl has one!
The voting has been so unpredictable this season, but JPDP here already deserves a spot in the finals.
