Jennifer Garneris celebrating spooky season — mom-style!

TheDeadpool vs. Wolverinestar, 52, shared a humorous look at motherhood on Sunday, Oct. 27, when she posted a behind-the-scenes clip on Instagram of a recent experience, titled “moms at a haunted house.”

In the self-recorded footage, Garner can be seen bumping into ghouls and shrieking at the top of her lungs as she made her way around the house.

Garner’s Halloweekend experience — which she filmed on her phone’s front camera — kicked off with the actress letting out a noise before walking into a dimly-lit haunted house. Once inside, she repeatedly yelled “I see you” at an apparent monster, before laughing and quickly moving away. “I don’t like when they pursue us,” Garner said. “Don’t pursue!”

“Why are you saying I’m alright?” she later asked in the footage, apparently talking to one of her kids. “I’m not alright.”

While documenting her seasonal frights, Garner delivered a series of silly one-liners, like when the movie star demanded a haunted house performer “stay in there” and away from her. At one point, she even called someone out before they could approach her. “There’s a person,” she said. “I see you and I’m not frightened of you.”

“Mom, you’re breaking my hand,” Garner’s 12-year-old son Samuel apparently responded. “I can’t actually feel my hand.”

It wasn’t long before Garner began to hilariously turn on her kids, too. “I’m not who you want,” she told the spooky house inhabitants. “I’m not who you want, take my son!”

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

TheFamily Switchstar’s latest Instagram clip is just another sign that she isn’t afraid to be silly on social media. Earlier this month, Garnercelebrated National Farmer’s Daywith photos and footage highlighting her love for farming, including one moment that — once again — left her screaming.

Wearing denim overalls, Garner could be seen in one clip riding around in a toy tractor with a chicken as her passenger in an attached cart. The chicken didn’t stay put, however, and decided to fly up and land right on her head.

“I don’t like this,” Garner said, before joking that she didn’t “have that much love for chickens” before gagging for the camera.
