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
Spooks Run Wild is a 1941 American horror comedy film and the seventh film in the East Side Kids series. It stars Bela Lugosi with Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan and Huntz Hall. It is directed by Phil Rosen, in his first and only outing in the series, and produced by Sam Katzman (under the company name Banner Pictures). The original script is by Carl Foreman and Charles R. Marion. In the film, the members of a club are vacationing in a summer camp. The area is reputed to have its own "monster killer", and suspicions fall on a strange man who has taken residence in a long-abandoned house. The film was intended to combine the most popular stars of Monogram Pictures, Lugosi and the East Side Kids. The film was released shortly before Halloween. The film marked the last film appearance of Donald Haines, who died in the Battle of Kasserine Pass (1943). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
