On 'Dancing With the Stars' Horror Movie Night, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov earned a perfect score of 40 out of 40, making their performance the first perfect score of the season.
Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also performed an Argentine tango to 'Uninvited' by Damned Anthem & Kendra Dantes, inspired by zombie movies, scoring a total of 36 out of 40.
The judges praised Amber and Pasha's performance, with Bruno Tonioli saying he could literally taste the fear of the moment and thought the whole routine was perfection.
Amber Glenn noted that the 'Black Swan' dance, which inspired their performance, resonated with her as it explores the pursuit of perfection and its destructive potential.
The competition saw a double elimination, with Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson, Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong, Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart, Giada De Laurentiis and Alan, Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman, and Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills all heading home.
Shirley Ballas, guest judge for the night, complimented Amber and Pasha's use of the floor and how Amber incorporated graceful skating skills into the routine.
Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy's performance was praised for its precision, power, and passion, with Derek Hough standing up to say it was one of the best Argentine tangos he's ever seen on the show.
The judges' scores from the previous Dedication Night will be combined with tonight's totals to determine the final results.
The spooky theme continued with performances inspired by legendary horror films, including a contemporary dance to 'Toxic' by 2WEI, inspired by 'Saw', and an Argentine tango to 'The Dogs Attack' by Jerry Goldsmith, inspired by 'The Omen'.
