Spoilers for Season 2, Episode 6, “Dante Crowe.”
Not every new guest at the Undervale has won over the regulars—or the audience. In the public discussion for Netflix’s Haunted Hotel Season 2, Episode 6, Dante Crowe has prompted mixed reactions. Some viewers enjoyed the gunslinging ghost hunter’s supernatural action and the obvious nods to other occult investigators; at least one commenter in the season-wide thread said they did not enjoy the character.
That is a small sample of fan opinion, not a broad consensus that Dante should disappear. But it does make for an interesting split: the episode is built around a larger-than-life guest who brings weapons, spells and end-of-the-world stakes to a series whose usual charm comes from its dysfunctional hotel family.
Why Dante feels different from the usual Haunted Hotel guest
Episode 6’s official synopsis describes Dante as a gunslinging ghost hunter whose arrival drags the family into a fight against world-ending omens. That gives the episode a more action-forward rhythm than a story focused on the hotel’s everyday business or the family’s relationships. For some viewers, that genre shift is part of the fun; for others, the guest’s dramatic persona may feel at odds with the show’s more intimate comic rhythm.
The character is also written with recognizable supernatural-action ingredients: weapons, spells, tattoos and a dramatic vehicle. In the episode thread, fans compared him to John Constantine and Sam or Dean Winchester from Supernatural, with several noting that he feels like a mash-up of those archetypes. Those comparisons are fan readings, not confirmed statements of creative intent.
Some fans enjoyed the references; others wanted more of the core family
The reaction is not simply positive or negative. In the episode thread, viewers enthusiastically identified references to Supernatural and Constantine. One commenter said Dante felt like a mix of the two; another pointed to his car and equipment as clues. A separate viewer complained about how the episode handled Esther’s competence during the crisis, which shows that discussion extended beyond Dante himself.
Meanwhile, a commenter in the season-wide discussion said they did not enjoy Dante, even while praising other parts of Season 2. That distinction matters: a viewer can like the season and still find one guest character less successful. The public threads do not establish that most fans dislike Dante, nor do they show a coordinated campaign to remove him from future episodes.
Does the ending suggest Dante could return?
Some fans noticed the end-card wording “Crowe will return” and discussed its resemblance to the visual language of supernatural-action franchises. That detail has encouraged speculation about Dante’s future, but it should not be treated as a confirmed Season 3 plan or a guarantee of a specific episode. The wording is part of the episode viewers are discussing; Netflix has not separately announced a Dante-led continuation.
If the character does return, the most useful question may be how the writers integrate him into the hotel’s family-first comedy. A guest who arrives with apocalypse-level stakes can work as a one-off disruption, while a recurring character needs a reason to connect with Katherine, Nathan, Ben, Esther and the hotel’s strange residents. That is a storytelling possibility, not a prediction about production plans.
The real people behind the animated series
Dante Crowe is a fictional character, and the public cast sources checked for this article did not confirm a voice actor for him. Rather than attach an unrelated actor’s portrait to Dante, this story uses credited images of the series and its real creative team only where relevant. Haunted Hotel was created by Matt Roller, and its confirmed principal voice cast includes Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides and Jimmi Simpson.
That distinction is important for accurate entertainment reporting: a character comparison in a fan thread is not proof of who voiced the character, and an animated image is not a photograph of a real person. No unverified Dante voice credit is being presented here.
