I've had an idea for a horror/thriller short story that I believe will also make for good TV.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS -
Man wakes up in morning, looks over adoringly at wife (no, it's not a comedy) - and to his horror he sees she's got a great big curly mullet.
He's a bit confused, but unabashed he gets up and minces around the house for a bit.
Having imbibed "a few beers" the night before, he has a sudden urge for a bacon sarnie so hot foots it to local cafe "The Lay Down Linda". Through the fug of body odour and smoke, he can make out the svelte figure of his favourite Polish waitress, but as the mist clears, there before him, sitting proudly atop her elfin head is a big curly mullet....
He looks around him, mild panic beginning to manifest itself - EVERYONE in the cafe has a curly mullet...
He runs home to confront his wife - "WHY HAVE YOU GOT A CURLY MULLET?". She looks confused "What do you mean, what's a mullet?"
Frantically, he looks around his house at the photos on the walls - yes, all have mullets, staring out at him, mocking him, smirking. Wife, children, parents, grandparents, even the goldfish has a curly mullet.
He turns on the TV - all have mullets.
With shaking fingers he reaches for the family photo album - almost too afraid to look. Worst fears are realised - there he is as a baby - smiling and dribbling to the camera, proud (mulletted) parents looking on, running their fingers through his big bushy curly mullet...........
He closes the album, his face ashen, his trembling hands moving slowly to the top of his head, he knows what's coming...............
THE END.
