Bindi Irwin invoked the spirits of vampires and wild animals during her performance on this week's Dancing with the Stars. Baring her fangs throughout the ensemble, she and her partner Derek Hough earned perfect marks from judges for the second week in a row.

According to ABC, for this week's Halloween-themed episode, the duo had to dance the Argentine Tango to the song "Cry Little Sister" as vampires. The style required a lot of attitude and showing the dancer's sexy side, says Heavy.

During rehearsal, Hough told ET reporters that he felt uncomfortable asking the young Australian conservationist to be fierce and sexy. He may have been the neck-biting vampire in this dance routine, but he admittedly felt even more uneasy seeing the minor show off some tantalizing moves.

"I'm like, 'Whoa! OK, young lady, you're allowed to do that for about a minute-and-a-half, but when the song finishes, you go back to being my little Bindi'," Hough said on ET.

Any awkwardness they may have felt during the rehearsal phase was long gone by the time the two started performing on stage. According to Yahoo! this week marks the second time in a row that the duo achieved perfect scores.

The young Irwin clearly enjoyed her experience on the show.

She told ET reporters, "I'm so grateful to be here and to be part of this. And watching everyone tonight, everyone brought so much fierceness and they just owned it," she added.

After the show, Hough ecstatically told People, "This little angel-faced demon child did amazing. Bindi has become such a great dancer, but more importantly she embodies the character."

"I don't teach that. I can teach her so many things about technique, but the performance comes from the soul," he continued. 

The young Australian admitted to reporters that she was thinking about the strength of wild animals right before their Halloween-inspired performance. Other than tigers and birds, another animal that struck her the most was sharks.

Bindi and Derek are the crowd favorites in this season's Dancing with the Stars. Yahoo! says that if the duo wins, the trophy would mark Hough's sixth.

During next week's show, the dancing celebrities will pay tribute to significant people in their lives. According to Broadway World, the Irwin and Hough duo will be dancing to MIKA's song entitled 'Grace Kelly.'

Watch Bindi and Derek try a brand new routine next week on Dancing with the Stars. A new episode airs every Monday at 8 pm ET on ABC.
