Denver Film took over Lakeside Amusement Park on August 22 for its annual Summer Scream festivities. This year, the theme was tailored to Winona Ryder fans, and attendees enjoyed Beetlejuice- and Stranger Things-themed installations, rides, costumes and revelry at the family-owned amusement park, which is celebrating its 116th year this summer. Denver's legendary masked drum troupe itchy-O was also on hand for the affair.
