The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Noche de duendes est une comédie du cinéma américain en langue espagnole de James Parrott mettant en scène Laurel et Hardy, constituée d'un montage de l'adaptation de La Maison de la peur (The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case) de James Parrott avec des scènes empruntées à Laurel et Hardy en wagon-lit (Berth Marks) de Lewis R. Foster. Elle était destinée au marché hispanophone. Une version en langue française avec Jean De Briac dans le rôle du détective, Feu mon oncle, à ce jour considérée comme disparue, et une version en langue allemande récemment retrouvée mais incomplète, Spuk um mitternacht ont été également tournées.
