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
The Terror is an American supernatural horror drama anthology television series developed for AMC. Each season is a stand-alone story with a different cast and mostly different crew, each set during a unique historical backdrop also featuring supernatural elements. It premiered on March 25, 2018; after a hiatus following the second season released in 2019, the show was revived in 2024 for a third season that premiered on May 7, 2026, on AMC+ and Shudder and on AMC later in the year. The first season was developed by David Kajganich who served as co-showrunner alongside Soo Hugh, and is named after Dan Simmons's 2007 novel The Terror which serves as the basis for the story, a fictionalized account of the real lost expedition of Captain Sir John Franklin to the Arctic from 1845 to 1848. The second season, subtitled Infamy, was co-created by Alexander Woo and Max Borenstein and is set in an American internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. The third season, subtitled Devil in Silver, was created by Victor LaValle and based on his 2012 novel of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
