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.
How it feels
A reporter investigates a series of strange murders and discovers a scientist who uses a mysterious process to revive the dead. The scientist, Doctor X, appears to be a vampire but is actually a walking corpse kept alive by blood transfusions.

What happens
The Return of Doctor X (also billed as The Return of Dr. X) is a 1939 American science fiction-horror film directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Wayne Morris, Rosemary Lane, and Humphrey Bogart as the title character. It was based on the short story "The Doctor's Secret" by William J. Makin. Despite supposedly being a sequel to Doctor X (1932), also produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, the films are unrelated. This was Bogart's only science fiction or horror film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
