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
Howl of the Devil (Spanish: El aullido del diablo) is a Spanish horror film written, directed by and starring Paul Naschy, along with Caroline Munro, Howard Vernon, and Naschy's son Sergio Molina (credited as Serg Mills). The film was finished in 1988 (according to its copyright date) and intended as a comeback vehicle for Naschy (who had not headlined a film since 1984), but due to various factors never received any significant theatrical release and was widely unavailable until 2021. The film is notable for providing Naschy—famed as the "Spanish Lon Chaney"—an opportunity to briefly portray a wide variety of classic horror characters, including Quasimodo, Frankenstein's Monster, Mr. Hyde, The Phantom of the Opera, Grigori Rasputin, Fu Manchu, Bluebeard, The Devil and his own iconic character Waldemar Daninsky from the Hombre Lobo films.
