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

Devil's Partner, also known as The Devil's Partner, is a 1961 black-and-white American supernatural horror film starring Ed Nelson, Edgar Buchanan, Richard Crane and Byron Foulger. It was directed by Charles R. Rondeau and produced by Hugh Hooker (an actor and stuntman who had previously made the 1958 film The Littlest Hobo). The film was completed in 1958, but it was not released until it was acquired by Roger and Gene Corman's Filmgroup and released in 1961, often paired with another Filmgroup title Creature from the Haunted Sea, according to Bill Warren.
