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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Each episode of this anthology series tells a self-contained horror story built around a different creature. The monsters range from a puppet on a kid's show to mutated lab rats. It keeps the focus on classic scares without sci-fi or fantasy elements.

What happens
Monsters is an American syndicated horror anthology television series which originally ran from October 22, 1988 to April 26, 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. The series grew out of Tales from the Darkside, the previous project by producer Richard P. Rubinstein and his company Laurel Entertainment. Unlike Tales from the Darkside, which sometimes featured science fiction and fantasy stories, Monsters was strictly horror-based. As the name implies, most episodes feature a different monster with which the story was concerned, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
