Miliza Morell

Milizia Morelle, played by Martha O'Driscoll, is a character in the film House of Dracula.

Milizia is an assistant to Dr. Franz Edelmann. The two of them live in a castle where they are approached by Lawrence Talbot and Count Dracula to cure them of their lycanthropy and vampirism, respectively.

Dracula tries to seduce Milizia and make her a vampire, but Milizia wards him off with a cross. Edelmann interrupts to explain that he has found strange antibodies in the count's blood, requiring another transfusion. Edelmann's assistant Nina begins shadowing Milizia and discovers that the count casts no reflection in a mirror. She warns Edelmann of the vampire's danger to Milizia. Edelmann prepares a transfusion that will destroy the vampire. During the procedure, the count uses his hypnotic powers to put Edelmann and Nina to sleep and reverses the flow of the transfusion, sending his own blood into the doctor's veins. When they awake, the count is carrying Milizia away. They revive Talbot and force the count away with a cross; Dracula returns to his coffin as the sun is beginning to rise. Edelmann follows him and drags the open coffin into the sunlight, destroying him.
