With Halloween mere days away, the "Dancing With the Stars" cast brought the thrills and chills for "Horror Night," which celebrated the scariest movies and TV shows of all time.

Despite making a strong comeback last week, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore took her final bow on the ballroom after being sent into the bottom two against gymnast Suni Lee. The judges, while disappointed by the audience vote, decided unanimously to save the Olympic gold medalist.

While the night was full of goosebump-worthy moments, there was one person who blew the competition away: NBA player Iman Shumpert.

Shumpert collected his first perfect score of the season following his contemporary routine honoring the 2019 horror movie "Us." The powerful routine, which featured a series of complicated stunts that tested the athlete's strength, did more than bring the room to its feet. Fellow competitor Jimmie Allen stood on his chair during the thunderous applause and judge Derek Hough let off a howl as he jumped onto the judges' table.

Also collecting a perfect score was Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa, whose "It"-inspired jazz routine borrowed and blended elements from ballet, contemporary and acrobatics. The judges not only praised the routine's complexity, they also saluted the hair and makeup team for transforming the lovable personality into an ultra-creepy Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

"The Office" star Melora Hardin now finds herself in danger of being sent home after finishing the night on the bottom of the scoreboard after the judges warned they found her jive to be a little too safe.

Here are the current standings:

NBA star Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach -- 40/40
Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson -- 40/40
Country music singer Jimmie Allen and Emma Slater -- 38/40
"The Talk" co-host Amanda Kloots and Alan Bersten -- 38/40
Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby and Cheryl Burke -- 36/40
Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee and Sasha Farber -- 36/40
Influencer Olivia Jade and Val Chmerkovskiy -- 36/40
WWE superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and Witney Carson -- 34/40
"The Office" actress Melora Hardin and Artem Chivensky -- 34/40

"Dancing With the Stars" will salute the music of Queen when it returns next Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
