The Groovie Goolies - Classic 1970s CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon

The American animated television series Groovie Goolies aired on network TV from 1970 to 1971. Set in a decrepit castle, the show centered on its good-natured monstrous inhabitants. Created by Filmation, Groovie Goolies existed in the same universe as Sabrina the Teenage Witch and The Archie Show, with crossover characters, but it was an original creation, not a spin-off from Archie Comics.

Filmation had enjoyed enormous success in previous years with cartoons based on the "The Archies" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" comics, which aired in one-hour blocks. In 1970, Filmation paired Sabrina with a new concept, The Groovie Goolies, featuring classic Universal monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman, and the Mummy - living together at "Horrible Hall," a castle that also served as an inn for monsters.
