Dick and Angel Strawbridge show off 'creative' home transformation for holiday season

Escape to the Chateau's Angel and Dick Strawbridge celebrated Halloween in magnificent style as they transformed their French chateau into a terrifying haunted house.

Sharing updates on social media, the television couple disclosed they had organised their yearly spine-tingling celebrations for their children, Arthur, 12, and Dorothy, 11.

Taking snapshots of the extravagant eerie decorations, the duo proclaimed the evening a "huge success" and delighted their followers with sneak peeks from the festivities.

The cherished family posed in their Halloween costumes throughout various rooms of the Chateau and glowed as they enjoyed precious moments with friends.

Dick, 66, and his wife Angel, 47, posted a collection of images from their Halloween party at the Chateau, accompanied by a message stating: "Halloween a la Chateau was a huge success!", reports The Mirror

"With Arthur and Dorothy both in senior school (or college, as it's called here in France), there were lots of new faces this year - but our Chateau's Halloween traditions remain firmly in place!".

The message went on: "From the Spooky Hunt (with our wonderful Chateau Helpers lurking in the shadows to add to the fright! ) to the classic toilet paper mummy competition and apple bobbing, it was a night full of laughter and shrieks in equal measure.

"Today will be mostly spent de-cobwebbing... and Dorothy has already started humming Christmas tunes... it seems the seasons are changing once again at the Chateau! Have a Super Sunday!" For the festivities, Angel opted for an elegant black velvet gown with a daring neckline and shimmering silver cobweb detailing.

She finished off her spooky ensemble with iridescent purple horns, tightly curled crimson locks, bold red lipstick, and gleaming silver ballet flats.

Meanwhile, her spouse Dick chose a more understated approach, sporting a brown waistcoat teamed with a crisp white shirt and dark navy trousers.

Channelling Frankenstein's monster, he wore a distinctive headpiece complete with the creature's signature bolts and jet-black hair.

Arthur embraced a monastic theme, donning flowing robes with an extended chain and crucifix, topped off with a wizard's pointed hat, while Dorothy posed dramatically in a witch's hat and head-to-toe black attire.

The comments section was quickly inundated with heartwarming messages from admirers who applauded the family's impressive efforts.

Numerous followers described the household makeover as "inventive", with one writing: "The Strawbridge family knows how to do the holidays right! So creative and festive!".

A second fan gushed: "So fun. I wish I was invited", while another declared: "Love the Strawbridge traditions".
