Mountain Monsters "Formula"

1. Begin each episode by talking about how large and / or dangerous your latest hunt is and exclaim that the team has never been in a more threatening position.

2. Talk to an eyewitness who may have had a run-in with the creature (the second eyewitness will be the one with actual video and / or audio).

3. Go out into the dark to find the creature and have it conveniently show up nearby (though out of camera range). Get psyched, 'cause now ya know it's real!

4. Talk to the second eyewitness, who offers to let you see / hear evidence of the creature. Exclaim your eagerness! Watch / listen intently as dramatic music builds in the background. Then suddenly be blown away by what you witness: "Never seen anything like that before!"

5. Start building a trap for the creature. Doesn't matter what kind or even if it's reasonable or functional. Each team member will proclaim your genius as soon as you start putting it together.

6. Go back out into the dark to find and capture the creature - you know, with that ingenious trap - and stir it up, perhaps make it angry or fearful. Just enough to throw things at you (from out of camera range) or maybe even cause one of your team members to get hurt.

7. Determined that you now have the creature headed into the trap, show up only to discover that it somehow dodged it, outsmarted it, or destroyed it altogether.

8. Repeat with each episode.

Great stuff!
