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.
How it feels
A family gathers in a spooky old house as a storm traps them inside. Mysterious deaths and strange events begin to occur in the style of old horror movies.

What happens
Dark and Stormy Night is a 2009 independent film spoofing the haunted house and murder mystery films produced by Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. Larry Blamire directed and acted in the film and wrote the screenplay. The film also includes many cast members from Blamire's previous films (such as The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and Trail of the Screaming Forehead). The title refers to the often-parodied opening sentence from the novel Paul Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
