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.

The film was produced by ABC Motion Pictures and released by 20th Century-Fox on October 29, 1982, grossing $10.1 million. In the film, the 1972 graduating class of a high school is gathering for their class reunion. They are unaware that among the guests is an escaped mental patient, who wants revenge for a decade-old sadistic prank which had ruined his life and his sanity.
