Ah, here's the page I was looking for:

It was in their blog listings: Their Zombie Lecture. Enjoy.

Not exactly certain but my guess would be Hammer's PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES which was set around an old tin mine in Cornwall,
England.

HARRY COOPER. We'll see who's right. We'll see...when they come begging me to let them in down here...

HELEN COOPER. That's important, isn't it?

HARRY COOPER. What?

HELEN COOPER. To be right--everyone else to be wrong.

HARRY COOPER. What's that supposed to mean??



No, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding!

I know the first American zombie film was White Zombie with Bela Lugosi. In fact, I think it's the first motion picture featuring the zomibie archetype as we know and love.

The Ghoul was made quite a few years after Plague Of The Zombies and I wouldn't class it as a zombie film either.

I think Zwoti was talking about the Karloff "Ghoul" from the early 30's, though.

i believe 1934 to be precise......it is also supposedly the very first british horror film (not sure about that though)

its not quite the first british horror film, that would be faust and mephistopheles from 1898. but it pretty much is the first zombie film as i couldn't find any others!!!when i say first i mean first british zombie film. the next zombie film is "the earth dies screaming" from 1964, more of a sci fi film really but it does include zombies, therefore including horror!!
