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 Ghost of Sierra de Cobre is a 1964 American made-for-television horror–thriller film starring Martin Landau, Judith Anderson and Diane Baker. It was written, produced and directed by Joseph Stefano, author of the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller Psycho, and he cast actors who had been in Hitchcock's films. Landau was in North by Northwest (1959), Anderson was in Rebecca, and Baker was in Marnie (1964). Four of the cast members appeared in episodes of The Outer Limits during Stefano's Season 1 tenure: Landau, Burt, Stone, and Morrill. The film was a pilot for a proposed supernatural anthology series for CBS called The Haunted. The series was not picked up after CBS president James T. Aubrey left but some additional footage was filmed and it was released as a standalone film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
