Jennifer Garner treated her fans to a hilarious Halloween moment as she braved a haunted house with her son Samuel over the spooky holiday weekend. The 52-year-old actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share a funny clip of her navigating the eerie attraction, all while delivering an amusing commentary.
In the self-recorded video, Garner walks through the dark, spooky corridors of the haunted house, trying to maintain her composure. Her son, Samuel, is heard but not seen in the clip, and at one point he tells her, “Mom, you’re breaking my hand. I can’t actually feel my hand.” Garner’s protective grip, clearly a reaction to the jump scares, had her son laughing and playfully complaining about her tight hold.
Showing off her playful sense of humor, Garner, who recently posted a video of herself wearing a mask of her cat’s face for its birthday, decided to shift the attention onto her kids. In a lighthearted moment aimed at the scared actors, she jokingly yelled, “I’m not who you want. Take my son!” Her humorous reaction had her followers in stitches, as she continued to document the spooky experience.
Garner titled the video, “Moms in a Haunted House,” offering a comical glimpse into what Halloween looks like when you’re a mom trying to keep your cool for your kids. Throughout the clip, she can be heard screaming and laughing as she navigates her way through the maze, attempting to dodge the actors trying to spook her.
The video not only showcased Garner’s fun-loving nature but also highlighted her willingness to embrace the Halloween spirit with her children. She was out enjoying the holiday with her kids—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—whom she shares with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The actress’s lighthearted Halloween post follows a pattern of her engaging, family-oriented social media content, where she often shares glimpses into her life as a hands-on mom. The clip serves as another reminder of Garner’s down-to-earth and relatable persona, and her ability to find humor in everyday parenting moments, even in the middle of a haunted house.
