Jennifer Garner Screaming Through A Haunted House With Her Son Is All Of Us

The Deadpool & Wolverine star chronicled her journey through a haunted house where she pleaded with the actors not to "pursue" and suggested they take her son instead.

With Halloween just around the corner, it appears the spooky festivities that began as early as August in some places are starting to wind down.

But that doesn't mean the scares are necessarily over. People are getting their fill of the creepy holiday season right up until the last minute.


While competing in Halloween costume contests, trick-or-treating, or watching Nightmare on Elm Street may be more people's speed, conquering haunted mazes are others' go-to Halloween activity.

Not for Jennifer Garner.

Unlike those who seek the scary adrenaline rush of haunted mazes, the 13 Going on 30 actor is not a fan of walking through the dark with intermittent jump-scares and being relentlessly pursued by ghouls lurking around every corner.

The 52-year-old Hollywood star posted a hilarious video of her walking through a haunted maze with her 12-year-old son Samuel, and she is not great at being a comforting presence for her child, even though he seems fine on his own.

You can watch the clip here.

“Mom, you’re breaking my hand. I can’t actually feel my hand," Samuel is heard complaining at one point.

Garner's running commentary in the selfie video of her experience is all treat.

“I see you. I see you! I SEE YOU!” she tells a lurking scare actor at one point.

She also shared what she doesn't appreciate during haunted house excursions.

“I don’t like when they pursue us. Don’t pursue!” she told her costumed tormentors ignoring her request to be left alone.

At one point, Garner engages in a one-way conversation with a sinister presence.

“There’s a person. I see you, and I’m not frightened of you.”
“I’m not who you want. Take my son!”

Her complaint about the atmosphere was exactly what fans of haunted mazes prefer.

“Too dark, too dark! Too smokey!” she said.

The video was captioned with a ghost emoji flanked by "No thank you" dash emojis.

Fans were in stitches watching the skittish action movie star.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.

Trump Is Now Using His Presidential Sway To Pressure Studio Into Making 'Rush Hour 4'—And, Huh?
