Jennifer Garner Hilariously Documents Being a “Mom in a Haunted House”

Jennifer Garner Hilariously Documents Being a “Mom in a Haunted House”

Jennifer Garner celebrates the spooky season—the mommy way!

The Deadpool vs. Wolverine The 52-year-old star shared a humorous take on motherhood on Sunday (Oct. 27) when she posted a behind-the-scenes Instagram video of a recent experience called “moms in a haunted house.”

The self-recorded footage shows Garner running into ghouls and screaming at the top of his lungs as he makes his way around the house.

Garner’s Halloween experience, which she captured on her phone’s front-facing camera, began with the actress making a noise before entering a dimly lit haunted house. Once inside, she yelled “I see you” several times to the apparent monster before laughing and quickly walking away. “I don’t like being chased,” Garner said. – Do not pursue!

“Why do you say I’m fine?” she asked later in the footage, apparently talking to one of her children. “I’m not okay.”

While documenting her seasonal fears, Garner uttered a series of silly lines, such as when the movie star demanded that the haunted house performer “stay in there” and stay away from her. At one point she even called out to someone before they could get to her. “There is a man,” she said. – I see you and I am not afraid of you.

“Mom, you’re breaking my arm,” 12-year-old son Garner Samuel apparently replied. “Actually, I can’t feel my arm.”

Soon, Garner began to throw her children around in a funny way. “I’m not the one you want,” she told the house’s creepy occupants. “I’m not the one you need, take my son away!”

The video ends with Garner pleading with some of the performers to “stop looking at me”, screaming after a sudden noise, and confirming that the haunted house was “very effective”.

Garner has three children with her ex-husband Ben Affleck: Vialka, 18, Serafina15 and Samuel12.

The Family switch The star’s latest clip on Instagram is another sign that she’s not afraid to be silly on social media. Earlier this month, Garner All-Ukrainian Farmer’s Day was celebrated with photos and footage highlighting her love of farming, including one moment that made her cry again.

Dressed in denim overalls, Garner could be seen in one clip riding a toy tractor with a chicken as her passenger in an attached cart. However, the chicken did not stay in place, but decided to take off and land right on her head.

“I don’t like it,” Garner said, before joking that she’s “not that into chickens” before stumbling into the camera.

Garner also got into farming in a humorous, fall-inspired clip she shared Instagram in honor of National Pumpkin Day on Saturday, October 26. She could be seen in the garden displaying a “baby” pumpkin — and even rocking it and singing a lullaby. “You’re doing a great job,” she told the little pumpkin, encouraging it to grow. “Go on.”
