Oh, wow, I completely missed SPOOKIEST. Well done, Mike! (I did have SOOKIEST* written down as speculative... so near, and yet so far.) I'm afraid you're in error on the conundrum, though: It is EXORCISED, not EXERCISED. Or maybe that was just a typo? (You'd probably get away with that in practice, what with the pronunciations being sufficiently similar.)

1. POSTIES
2. CHATTER
3. 654 = (7 - 1)*(100 + 9)
4. COMPLINE
5. GOURDS
6. 675 = (6 + 3)*75
7. COMMIES
8. 958 = 9*100 + 50 + 10 + 5 - 7
9. [N/A -- chosen: EXORCISED]

Not a typo sadly.
