STRICTLY fans have slammed bosses over their ‘odd’ Halloween Week decision.
Viewers will be treated to a spooktacular episode of the BBC show this Saturday night.
However some think that the spooky special is a bit repititive after finding out what the celebrities will be dancing to.
Some have taken to a Digital Spy forum to share their frustrations.
One wrote: “Very poor Halloween song selection this year. “
“I wouldn’t mind if Halloween was every 2 years to rest it and have a different theme on a different week instead. Same for Movie week and Musicals,” another added.
A third chimed in: “Time to retire Halloween week if production keep putting minimal effort into the music choices.”
A fourth wrote: “There are a couple if interesting song choices on the list, but a lot of odd ones and repeats. Two or three years ago we had a thread where people suggested songs for Halloween and there were loads of great ideas.”
Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec will be dancing the Samba to I Like To Move It Move It by Reel 2 Real, while Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell will give their own rendition to Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees.

The judges decided to keep JLS legend JB.
Since the show Amy has hit back after their low scores, which saw them receive 30 for their jive to Outkast’s Hey Ya.
Speaking on It Takes Two, Amy said: “I literally just said to J, repeat what you’ve done, copy and paste, because I truly think JB week in and week out has delivered brilliant performances.

“I remember week one, asking J, have you had dance lessons before? He is so talented.
“Not just this week, I’m proud of every performance J has put on.”
