Each of the judges donned Halloween costumes, keeping with the theme, but two really caught viewers’ eyes.
Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke were instantly recognizable as dressed as the young twins from The Shining.
Fans of the dance competition found the costume choice “hilarious” and one said they would “never forget” the two men in the suits.

Strictly viewers find judges’ Halloween costumes ‘ridiculous’
Revel Horwood and Du Beke came down the stairs at the start of the show, holding hands and wearing matching ruffled dresses with a big bow in the front, complete with wigs and clips in their hair.
