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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
