Last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS delivered a 'spooktacular' night filled with scary and chilling performances. The eight remaining couples performed an individual Halloween-themed routine in addition to a competitive team dance.

For the team dances, the cast was divided into two frightening teams: #TeamCreepDuSoleil and #TeamItsyBitsy. The two teams competed against each other, vying for a perfectly wicked score from the judges.

Fighting through a host of serious injuries, Broadway vet Alfonso Ribeiro joined professional dance partner Witney Carson for a Halloween Rumba set to the music of last night's special guest performer Ella Henderson. The dance earned the couple a 36 out of 40 points AND Alfonso announced on live TV that he and his wife are expecting their second child. Check it out below!

Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson (who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial). After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend, Will Smith. Following six years on the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with L.L.Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication.
