It can be good but last years dancing was awful to average. Only three dances over 30, Jay as a giant Cat or Wolf Helen's Mummy Samba. and Georgia as a Ghostbuster. Everyone else not great.

When I started this thread I thought there was a faint chance we might be spared the Halloween 'special' this year. Alas not.

I enjoy it. Its a great excuse for make up and costume to go as mad as they like. I agree with OP about limited song choices though. Some really of the really great horror style songs might not be appropiate for family audiences. But all in all, I do enjoy it.
I like Halloween it's always interesting to see what bonkers stuff people come up with and the costuming and make up are always great. It'll be interesting to see what the Judge comes as this year and to a lesser extent Ed. |

I do enjoy it, but find that sometimes the dancing suffers as a result of all the over-excitedness of the costumes/makeup etc.

Love the whole spectacle of Strictly Halloween Week.
I do think themes and props should be limited to Movie Week (Week 3) and Halloween (Week 6) though. I love Blackpool too but wish they would stop using all the backing dancers and props there. |

I actually really enjoy Halloween week - the costumes, the silly themes - all of it is good fun.
Much better that than some of the themes we get in non theme weeks, tbh. Also Halloween >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blackpool. Blackpool theming is the worst. |

A lot of them are hard rock too which means the band and singers will struggle with them and they probably aren't as well known. I did love Alice Cooper performing during the results show of the first halloweon show but apart from Kellie last year I suspect most of that type of music isn't well known enough to use.

I usually loathe it, but who knows I may be surprised this year and enjoy it. I always feel that its been done to death
but I do recall one or two dances that I enjoyed, Scotts VW with Natalie and Helens samba, there probably have been more but I can't recall at the moment.

I quite look forward to it. It's mostly fun. The repertoire of songs is a bit limited
![]() I thought Movie Night was very good this year and if that and Halloween were the only theme nights I'd be happy for them to be stuffed full of props and whatever other nonesense. I don't mind if they go a bit 'large' for Blackpool either, but it's what they do the rest of the time that gets up my nose. I don't want themes in 'normal' weeks. Harrumph! I voted for Lesley and Anton's 'Couple of Swells' QS as their finest hour too. Lovely routine that was very much their personalities at their best. Like everything else theming is hit and miss and dances in the past used to strong themes sometimes to help sell them. |

I hate Hallowe'en and everything about it, from the shops full of tat to Trick or Treat, so this is one edition of Strictly I can do without. Sorry to be such an old misery.
