It's hard to believe that California could be home to anything labeled "The Oldest" but at Knott's Berry Farm in Anaheim, the theme park's Scary Farm is the world's first haunted theme park attraction in the U.S., having opened in 1973.

Drawing mostly from gory horror movies and crafted by professional "scare-masters", the park fashions itself into a giant haunted house with mazes, scary zones, frightening attractions--like the Slaughterhouse, The Asylum and The Doll Factory--and showing off short horror films.

Additionally, the park sets up "specially employed" monsters throughout the place who sole job is to scare the living bejesus out of you. Fun, right?

Looks like we're not the only ones who enjoy a little roller coaster action. That's Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, model Bar Rafaeli, on the Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm in California.

The star couple may be pleased to know the Xcelerator hasn't made our list of the world's scariest coasters, although it does take lucky riders from 0 to 82 in 2.3 seconds when it launches. Leo could probably afford his own -- the coaster, which opened in 2002, cost Knott's "just" $13 million.
