Halloween is the worst movie time

I like a lot of movies. I like good movies. I like bad movies. I like sci fi, espionage, mystery, comedy and even the occasional romantic-type movie. I don't care for horror, though. I'm not going to see It, even though it's getting phenomenal reviews, and I'm not going to go on a binge catching up with classic horror movies of yore.
I don't mind going to movies that scare me, or startle me, so long as there is a reasonable explanation to whatever spooked me. There was a killer on the loose or something like that. Demons aren't real. Ghosts aren't real.
 Like I lead with in my categorical run down of movies I like, I like sci fi. Generally speaking, the contents of those movies are pretty fictitious. Star Wars is great, and that series is based on an entire fictional galaxy. But Star Wars isn't out to scare me.
So I don't mind being scared, and I don't mind movies with a little bit of imagination in their premise, but I don't like it when the two are paired. If I am totally honest, I guess, the truth is I don't like being afraid of things that aren't real. I don't want to lay awake thinking about ghosts or devil clowns, because they don't exist.
But damn, if they exist in my mind when I'm trying to sleep. Halloween movies are the worst.
