So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

# 9 Baltic can mean cold or icy or frozen and the object looks like an oven or stove or range but I can't seem to get it

Puzzle failed. The timer on your bear trap hits zero. You hear a click...
...will, of course, not be shown on 1970s television. Freeze frame on timer hitting zero, then cut to Rod Serling and roll the credits.
1) Pumpkin
2) Frankenstein
3) Trick or Treat
4) Count Dracula
5) Over my dead body
6) Hellfire
7) Spell book
8 ) Bloody Murder
9) Coven*
10) Nightmares
11) Spirits
12 ) The lesser of two evils
13) Headstone
14) Haunted house
15) Witch
16) Werewolf
17) Life after death
18) The root of all evil
19) Scream blue murder**
20) Six feet underground
* This tricky one shifts gears. "Baltic" refers to the actual sea. "Sea" is a sort of homonym of the letter "C". C + Oven = Coven.
** While most Americans will use the expression "bloody murder", most Brits will say "blue murder". Strange since Brits often say "bloody this" or "bleedin' that".

Still in play...
Quote: WizardQuote: Gialmere
A group of 5 people want to keep their secret documents in a safe. They want to make sure that, in the future, only a majority (≥3) can open it. So they want to put some locks on the safe and all of the locks have to be opened to gain access. Each lock can have multiple keys; but each key only opens one lock.
How many locks are required at the minimum?
How many keys will each member carry?

I thought I posted this yesterday but it appears it didn't take.
My follow up question is what is the general solution for p people where n are needed to open the safe? For example, what if there were 25 people with 15 needed to open the safe.
