I didn’t spot the theme, but now I’d add the CARPENTER to your list.

Thanks for your help in parsing SPOOK. L to K? Neighbours alphabetically?

Some dictionaries give both of these definitions for CROWN:
a wreath of leaves or flowers / an ornament shaped like a crown.
Well that’s how I justified TORC!

I took ‘Eccentric setter of puzzles’ as a good definition of the MAD HATTER.
Then the solution might clue “threat”.
