The Poltergeist

I hate watching horror movies. It scares me so much that I can't sleep for the next week. I can't help but imagine what would happen if the supernatural started to haunt me. I thought about this, and I think I know exactly what would happen.

Let us call the supernatural being haunting me "the poltergeist."

The poltergeist would be standing next to me with an axe raised above his head. His drool will drop onto my face waking me up. As I wake up, I'll probably scream. Then my little brothers beside me would wake up and see the poltergeist. The door to our room would close. My parents would be pounding the door outside. The poltergeist is grinning, as my brothers and I group up together in the corner.

But just as the poltergeist thinks he's got us corner, I'll throw my shirt at him to blind him momentarily. As soon as that happens, I'll take him down onto the ground. My brothers will jump in right after. And we'll decorate the poltergeist's face. The end.

I still don't understand why I'm scared of horror movies if my brothers and I are going to decorate the poltergeist's face should he or she come. Would it not be more reasonable to assume that the poltergeist should be the one scared?
