Watch: Whoa! Bindi Irwin Celebrates First Halloween on "DWTS"

Bindi Irwin is celebrating her first Halloween on Dancing With the Stars. Yes, her first! The 17-year-old and professional partner Derek Hough are team captains for the group dance and they're getting down to the Ghostbusters theme song. E! News was there for the big rehearsal where Bindi dropped her Halloween bombshell.

"This is my first real Halloween because we really don't celebrate Halloween in Australia, so it's really exciting," she told us. "I'm a little bit nervous because I don't do well with scary movies or being scared in general, so I think on Halloween, the actual night, I'm probably just going to be at home with my family drinking tea and locking the doors."

But she has experienced Halloween candy before, and is a fan of one of the most divisive candies out there: candy corn. Her aunt from Oregon supplied the treats for the family Down Under. "I would sit there for hours trying to tell the difference between each flavor of candy corn," she said. "I think on Halloween I'm going to buy myself some candy corn and lash out."

As for tricks and treats, well there's been some bananas involved and live animals, naturally. Click play on the video above to learn all about that, the Ghostbusters dance and what happened when Bindi experienced seeing all the different kind of Halloween candy in the supermarket.

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on ABC.
