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
Campfire Tales is a 1997 American straight-to-video horror film directed by Matt Cooper, Martin Kunert, and David Semel. The film consists of three individual short segments, framed within an overarching narrative told by a group of friends around a campfire after their car breaks down in the woods. The film stars James Marsden, Christine Taylor, Amy Smart, and Ron Livingston. Although the project was conceived in 1995 as a theatrical release, the studio lost confidence in its potential success, and it was ultimately released straight-to-video by New Line Home Video, a Warner Bros. label. It first came out in May 1997 in the United Kingdom and later in September 1998 in the United States. The film is currently out of print in any physical format and is only available on online platforms. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
