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

Terror at Red Wolf Inn (also released as Terror House and The Folks at Red Wolf Inn) is a 1972 American horror film directed by Bud Townsend, and starring Linda Gillen, John Neilson, and Arthur Space. The plot follows a young college student who wins a vacation to a rural resort run by an elderly couple who serve meals of human flesh. Though it contains prominent horror elements, critics and scholars have noted the film as being an early example of comedy horror due to its "tongue-in-cheek" humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
