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.
How it feels
A group of short horror stories are told by a museum curator to a colleague. Each tale involves a strange object or event that drives someone to madness.

What happens
Tales That Witness Madness is a 1973 British anthology horror film directed by Freddie Francis and starring Donald Pleasence, Joan Collins, Kim Novak and Jack Hawkins. It was written by actress Jennifer Jayne (as Jay Fairbank) and produced by Norman Priggen. The film was one of several in a series of anthology films made during the 1960s and 1970s which included Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), Torture Garden (1967), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Asylum (1972), Tales from the Crypt (1972), The Vault of Horror (1973) and From Beyond the Grave (1974). These portmanteau horror films were all produced by Amicus Productions. Tales That Witness Madness is sometimes mistaken for an Amicus production; however, it was actually produced by World Film Services. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
