‘Dancing With the Stars’ 2025 Scores Revealed: Full Week 7 Halloween Night Leaderboard

The “Dancing With the Stars” 2025 scores for Week 7 have been revealed — and the competition is heating up after a spooky Halloween Night showdown. The October 28 episode featured eerie makeovers, haunting choreography, and a surprise injury that shook the ballroom lineup.

Out of the nine remaining contestants, one was forced to sit out due to injury. Elaine Hendrix, best known for “The Parent Trap,” was taken to the hospital after a rehearsal mishap earlier in the day, leaving her unable to perform. Still, her score from prior weeks kept her in contention as viewers voted live. Former DWTS pro Cheryl Burke returned as a guest judge, joining Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli for the Halloween-themed episode.
