The scary movie franchise - not scary at all.

I wouldn't really do the atmospherics until you're a bit more "seasoned" if you don't want to be scared at first.

Try something like Joy Ride,Riding the Bullet,Let the Right One In and then with some classic slashers...

To start out in Horror, I have a nice easy way to transition Horror newbies into Horror Geeks...

Start out with the comedies...Shawn of the Dead, Zombieland, Deadheads, Idle Hands, Evil Dead 2
Move up to the slashers....Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, Nightmare on Elmstreet, TCM, The Burning
Try out a few 80s cheesy fun movies....Night of the Creeps, Night of the Comet, The Blob
Graduate to the Thrillers and Giallos...Suspiria, Tenebre, Deep Red, The Changeling, The Sentinel, Burnt Offerings
Move on up to "scary" movies....Insidious, The Descent, REC
Finally go all out with the controversial ones....Martyrs, The Woman, The Girl Next Door, DeadGirl

Just never skip ahead to the final level unless you want to be freaked out!

if you like zombie movies but not too scary "Fido" should be ideal.

Additionally try some great Vincent Price stuff like The Fall of the House of Usher (particularly atmospheric), The Raven (beautiful intro in this one), Last Man on Earth and The House of Wax (1953)

Also comedy horror, like Shaun of The Dead is a bit scary but the comedy tones it down a lot. I find sci-fi/horror to be some of the least scary films I've watched. Ultra has given good advice, watch the classics and especially slashers; they are fun and light on real scares

All "horror" films from the 60s and down except Psycho (1960) and Un Chien Andalou (1922?).

Try out Evil Dead 2- it has some scary but is also rather humorous.
Army of Darkness, also.
You could try the old Universal horror films, ala Dracula, Wolfman, the Mummy. Also the Hammer films from the 60's and 70's. DirtyGirl can fill you in non the Hammer films.

Perhaps try some atmospheric stuff like The Devils Backbone or The Orphanage. Check out Bava's stuff like Black Sabbath or Sunday aswell.

You might like The Stand (1994). In Christine (1983) director John Carpenter proves that a car can be scary too, but it's not too scary so you may watch that along with The Car (1977).
