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
《人嚇鬼》（），1984年1月12日在英属香港上映的惊悚片和恐怖片。 聲叔年輕時為一代戲班當家小生，在一日受荒野小村請來唱戲酬神後，村長給了聲叔一大筆謝酬。怎料，聲叔及眾人隔日一早醒來，卻發現自己躺在墳地上，而收來的酬金也變成冥紙錢，眾人驚覺撞邪了。 多年之後，聲叔培養新一代戲生阿佳、阿贵、阿标、阿光四人都是戏院里的戏子，阿佳演技高超，博得观众欢喜，但是为人孤傲，不可一世，更不擅处理人际关系。有一天，阿贵、阿标、阿光三人出谋扮鬼来吓唬阿佳，但是阿佳没吓着，反而自己遇到了潮州鬼，并且被潮州鬼附身，大闹戏院。眾人束手無策之際，無奈求助於聲叔。一个晚上，声叔叫他们扮成包公审案，潮州鬼晚上便现身出来申冤，原来他是三百年被人用乱刀分尸而死，因为死后没人埋葬和祭奠，变成了孤坟野鬼，希望包大人能够收拾他的遗骸埋葬，而他的遗骸就埋葬在戏台下面，让他投胎轉世。 次日清晨，阿佳等人挖出潮州鬼的遗骸，迁葬至他处。回去之后，为庆祝这桩善事，戏院加菜、大鱼大肉，就在宴席上，房间的墙壁突然炸开，一个戏子立刻被炸死。紧接着，桌子上的碗筷漫天飞舞，房子東倒西歪，砸伤了不少戏子。 阿贵、阿佳等人氣憤不已，认为是潮州鬼在捣乱，遂跑到坟场把潮州鬼的坟给砸了。晚上，潮州鬼前来告诉声叔和众人，他们安葬的不是他的遗骸，而是一个恶鬼的遗骸，戏院的戏台下埋葬着两副遗骸，是他们挖错了，而今，他们又把恶鬼的坟也砸了，必定得罪於惡鬼，没有好下场。声叔等人决计扮成钟馗抓鬼，但是恶鬼妖术高超，他们根本不是对手，当众人被击败在地千鈞一髮之際，戏院里供奉的華光大帝显灵，終将恶鬼給收服，解救眾人。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
