“Dancing with the Stars'” move to Tuesdays this season means that its annual Halloween night will actually fall on Halloween this year.

The top nine couples will hit the floor in costumes galore on Monster Night before facing off in the dance marathon — or Dance Monster-thon. Niecy Nash-Betts will also serve as guest judge. The Argentine tango will make its season debut via three couples, while the hustle and the Charleston are the styles for the dance marathon. The judges will tap out couples one by one during the marathon and the last couple standing will be crowned Hallow king and queen. Bonus points from the marathon will be added to the individual scores.
