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
The Manster (双頭の殺人鬼, Sōtō no Satsujinki; "The Two-Headed Killer") is a 1959 American science-fiction horror film. Shot in Japan, it was produced by George P. Breakston and directed by Breakston and Kenneth G. Crane from a screenplay by Walter J. Sheldon. Sheldon's script was based on Breakston's story, which he originally titled The Split. The film stars Peter Dyneley as a foreign correspondent in Japan who is given an experimental drug which causes an eye, and eventually a second head, to grow from his shoulder.
