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

The Stranger Within is a 1974 American made-for-television science fiction horror film that premiered as the ABC Movie of the Week on October 1, 1974. Written by Richard Matheson, and based on his 1953 novelette Trespass, it capitalized on Rosemary's Baby, but included a science-fiction twist which Matheson originated in the novelette but was popularized by John Wyndham in his 1957 novel The Midwich Cuckoos. The film was directed by Lee Philips and stars Barbara Eden and George Grizzard. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
