On Oct. 23, the PFS presents a rare public screening of the extremely obscure 1975 romantic horror-fantasy “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud,” based on the popular novel of the same name. This eerie, independently made slow-burn of a flick about a man beset by recurring, confusing and violent nightmares which he comes to believe may actually be repressed memories of a previous life stars Michael Sarrazin (“They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”) and Margot Kidder (“Superman”) and was directed by none other than J. Lee Thompson, the highly respected British-born filmmaker responsible for the original “Cape Fear” (shot right here in Savannah) and “The Guns of Navarone,” among other well-known titles.

An engrossing movie that’s more creepy than outright scary, it lapsed into obscurity almost immediately after its short theatrical run, and for decades could only be found on blurry, cropped VHS tapes.

This presentation features a full, uncut widescreen print. 8 p.m. showtime, and as with all PFS events at the Bean, that restaurant’s award-winning vegetarian and vegan menu will be available, plus fair-trade coffees and teas, and discounts on craft beer and organic wine during the movie.
