Creeper, Creepers, or The Creeper may refer to:
Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971. It was designed not to damage but only to display a message. It is generally accepted to be the first computer worm.Creeper infected DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. The Reaper program was created by Ray Tomlinson to delete the Creeper program.
The Reaper program was a computer worm, like Creeper, but its purpose was to delete the latter. This fact was an inspiration for Core War, the series Hyperion by Dan Simmons, especially later books Endymion and The Rise of Endymion and for the D-Reaper, the final enemy of Digimon Tamers.
FUBAR is a 2002 mockumentary film, directed by Michael Dowse, based on the lives of two lifelong friends and head-bangers living out their lives, constantly drinking beer. FUBAR debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in the 'Park City at Midnight' category, which previously launched such films as The Blair Witch Project. Since its release, it has gained critical acclaim and a cult status in North America, but especially within Western Canada. It was both filmed and set in Alberta, particularly in and around Calgary.
It was filmed entirely with digital cinematography, on a shoestring budget that required many involved with the project to max out their credit cards in order to complete the movie (according to an interview on their official website). Many of the people featured in the movie (including the fist-fighters) were bystanders who thought that the filmmakers were shooting a documentary on the common man.
FUBAR features characters partly based on a comedy routine performed by David Lawrence and Paul Spence that they developed based on the head-banger subculture. David Lawrence, Paul Spence, and S.C. Lim also appear in Michael Dowse's movie, It's All Gone Pete Tong. (Dr. S.C. Lim plays himself in FUBAR as Dean's doctor. Lim actually is Michael Dowse's doctor.) The characters of Terry and Dean were later seen again, featured in the Michael Dowse-directed music video "The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism" by The New Pornographers.
