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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

A Night of Thrills is a 1914 American silent supernatural drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Ida May Park (uncredited) (who was De Grasse's wife) and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush. The film is now considered to be lost. Some sources say this film may never have actually been released at all, since not a single review of the film has ever turned up anywhere, but the Blake book claims it was released theatrically on Dec. 13, 1914.
