Jennifer Garner Screams Her Way Through a Haunted House Just Like Us
Jennifer Garner is just like Us when it comes to going through a haunted house.
On Sunday, October 27, Garner, 52, shared a video that showed her screaming while walking through a haunted house with her son, Samuel, 12, whom she shares with ex Ben Affleck. (Garner and Affleck, 52, also share Seraphina, 15, and Violet, 18.)
“I don’t like when they pursue us. Don’t pursue!” she shouts out in one part of the video before admitting to Samuel that she is “not alright.”
In one clip, Samuel admits that he “can’t feel” his hand because Garner is hanging on too tightly.
“I’m not who you want. Take my son!” Garner screams. “Wait, is this a real person? Stop looking at me! Too dark! Too smoky! That is very effective.”
Garner, for the most part, keeps her kids off of her social media pages, but she did share a sweet post for her children’s teachers in June following Samuel’s middle school graduation and daughter Violet’s high school graduation.
“A little gratitude for our wonderful family elementary school at the end of 13 years together applies to all educators: thank you for doing what you do,” she captioned the post, adding, “And congratulations to all the mamas out there with kids moving from one phase to the next.”
Garner went on to thank her kids’ teachers for all of the “hard work that goes into high expectation, for buckling down and teaching them the discomfort and joy of tolerating toward a greater good.”
“Thank you for being a safe haven for my family,” she added.
Earlier this year, Jennifer opened up about some helpful parenting advice she received from her own mom, Patricia Garner.
“My mom always says when they’re being the worst, that’s when they need the biggest hug,” she explained on an episode of “Kelly Corrigan Wonders” podcast in May. “She has a lot of things she says, but one of them is, ‘Any time you can say yes, say yes, be very liberal with your yeses and save your nos. And that closing your mouth is worth a million nos.’”
Jennifer noted that her mom is a “big believer” in not “going deep on what’s hard.”
“There’s certainly been times in my life where I’ll call her and I’ll be going through something that is just so overwhelming for her that she will just say, ‘Well, anyway,’ and she changes the subject and I have to hang up and call my sisters because I’ve reached the end of what Mom can do,” she explained.
