- Hello to all you horror lovers, history buffs, and Universal enthusiasts! I’m Antonia Carlotta and today we have a very special episode of Universally Me. If you’ve been following my channel, you already know I’m on a mission to resurrect the magic of Universal’s golden age when my Uncle Carl Laemmle and Junior Laemmle revolutionized the film industry. From the Hunchback and Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera to Dracula and Frankenstein, Imitation of Life, Show Boat and more … we’ve explored it all, one monster, one movie, one icon at a time.
But today, it’s all about you guys. I asked everyone on CZcams, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to fire away with your burning questions, and you guys delivered. So get ready for some behind-the-scenes insights, a sprinkle of old Hollywood gossip, and of course, a whole lot of Laemmle legacy. Feel free to comment along your own answers in the comments as we go!
Without further ado, let’s dive into your questions. And before we do, don’t forget to hit the like button, subscribe, and turn on those notifications so you never miss an update from Universally Me. Trust me, I’ve got some wicked videos in the works.

Incredible stories thanks.
Thank you so much Antonia for posting this. Universal classic films are the best!❤ And your family.
I spent a summer in the Phantom of the Opera stage, way back in the 70's, working on the tour, sweeping garbage, dusting dressing rooms, scraping gum off the cement with freeze spray, and generally having a good time with the other lowly summer job workers. On a hot day we would take refuge in Stage 28, where it was always cool inside, and a little bit scary with the dusty Phantom of the Opera set.
I have some stories, behind the scenes... and behind those scenes. We would get there early in the morning a few hours before the tour opened. Vacuum, clean and dust Edith Head's office and Julie London's dressing room. We had free run of Stage 28 and the workers would hide out in there when the boss wasn't looking.
Good times. Thanks for your videos. Sorry to hear that Stage 28 is gone.
Wonderful video! Very informative !!
Antonia you should appear at the "Chiller Theater" convention in New Jersey it happens every October and April every year. 🎃
You are awesome!
How cool to see the Laemmle and Universal Monster legacy so well treasured. When do we cut through all the licensing hurdles and get the Universal Monster universe into a video game format like "Red Dead Redemption?"
Awesome video!!!
I agree with you on what you said about how the "Dark Universe" idea was the wrong way to go. While I do like the MCU and find it fun, the Universal Monsters franchise is not the same type of film franchise and thus wouldn't work as a film franchise. I think they would work better as a Anthology series, what I would do if I was going to make them is have a host to tie all the movies together (Ex: Rod Sterling in the The Twilight Zone) who introduces the story and the comes back at the end saying he will see the audience later.
Woohoo! My question was first! 😃 Thanks for this video! It was great!
Great first question! 😉
Very cool !! IF you ever need a video idea..... I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions of the 1979 Dracula and the movie The House of Frankenstein
Enjoyed!
Great video! Loved this.
salt lake city, utah where i reside has fan x in september!
Horror conventions I would love for you to attend: “Spooky Empire” in Orlando. That puts you near Universal Orlando Resort. The other would be “Spookala,” which is in Ocala and/or Tampa. Please attend for the sake of those who love Universal! 🙏🥺
Talk about Oswald The Lucky Rabbit and Laemmle
Isnt Carla your grandfather's sister and not great grandfather?🤔 Beyond that, excellent channel.
Thanks so much for posting. Since I was a child I have loved the gothic look of the Universal horror films. I was also a film student when I grew up. For me, if Lugosi were not selected I would have liked to see Conrad Veidt portray him. I think Chaney Sr, if he lived, was strong enough of an actor to make us believe he was the old world European vampire. I can't see William Powell's acting range convincing the audience that he was Count Dracula from Transylvania, but to each his own. :)
Conrad Veidt!! I would love to see that.
Your uncle?!
you haven't talked about king of jazz or Changing of the guard or lonesome or roadway,Then a book was already made about king of jazz any how.
The movie The wolfman 2010 was way too long. Original one wirh Lon Chaney Jr. Was so amazing and spooky and a short film. I think the original movies are too special to do remakes.
That was awful.Tearing that historic sound stage down.They should have kept it as a museum .This proves that universal doesn't really care for it's past.
