The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Freddy's Nightmares (also known as A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Series) is an American horror anthology television series that aired in syndication from October 8, 1988, until March 12, 1990. A spin-off from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series, each episode is introduced by Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund, as in the films) and features two different stories. Eight episodes throughout the series feature Freddy Krueger as the main antagonist. The pilot episode, directed by Tobe Hooper, begins with Krueger's prosecution on child-murder charges. The series was produced by New Line Television, and Stone Television. It was originally distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures. After Lorimar-Telepictures was acquired by Warner Bros. Television in 1989, Warner Bros. assumed syndication rights. In 1996, Warner Bros. acquired New Line Cinema holding both production and distribution rights. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
