I'm willing to bet money Shrek will be an original. I know nothing, just a gut feeling considering they're probably trying to save money this year. The only reason I think they would go with an IP here is if they feel like the event needs another IP with the loss of Eillish. Although the thing about this year is I don't think anyone is going to care about IP's. The world has basically been closed as far as big events like HHN for over a year so just the fact that the event will be going on will be the attraction this year.
Ya know that’s really not a awful idea! I was thinking a possible universal film they have the rights too (not getting hopes up for the thing a third year in a row)Based on Spring Break, if things continue to go well, HHN will actually come close to Chapek's dream: I think Universal could just tweet "it's open" and not even have to worry about marketing. If things go sideways again, I don't know that Universal wants a third party getting input into how they respond. Rumor is that's one of the factors that sank 2020.
I could see an "in-house" IP (how great could Creature from the Black Lagoon work in that space?!) to try to move a little more merch than a nondescript haunted house set in Ohio or whatever might not, but I see little benefit in the cost of using a third party.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm only interested in what Universal says is going in there.Everyone about to get hyped up to see what’s in Shrek only for it to say “Unknown Original”.

What about if they reverse course and actually go with Gremlins, like the first spec map had? It's not Eilish. But I could see them selling a ton of merch with gizmo, spike and other gremlins on it.
It's anthology, so there's enough content for bothWould the creep show zone possibly be transformed into an original? A zone and house for a single property seems kind of odd but I’m down
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I just caught up on this thread and couldn't find it:
Do we know why Billie was scrapped? Especially after watching her new documentary, I was super fascinated to see how her album would translate to a house.
