Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson Scare Up a Wickedly Spooky Dance to a Britney Spears Classic on ‘DWTS’: Watch

On Tuesday, October 27th, Dancing With The Stars got into the Halloween spirit early with a "Horror Movie Night" episode. Harry Shum Jr., star of Glee, and his dance partner Jenna Johnson delivered a spine-chilling dance to Britney Spears' hit song "Toxic." Shum appeared on stage in a blood-stained white shirt and tie, with Johnson dressed as the iconic character from the Saw franchise.

The duo performed a high-energy contemporary dance filled with daring lifts, spins, and a memorable move where Johnson sat on Shum's shoulder before laying down in a "T" shape. The routine concluded with Johnson grabbing Shum and ripping off his tie, sending him crashing to the ground, only to be shoved down repeatedly by Johnson.

The judges, including Shirley Ballas and Bruno Toniolo, were left speechless, with Ballas calling it "something she'd never seen before" and Toniolo describing it as "perfect." This marked the first 40/40 perfect score of the season. Two pairs were sent home that night: Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess, who danced a Dracula-themed Viennese waltz to Annie Lennox's "Love Song For a Vampire," and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater, who executed a Joker-inspired routine to Frank Sinatra's "That's Life." DWTS airs live on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+ and streams the following day on Hulu.
