When you curtail a word, you remove the last letter and still have a valid word. You will be given clues for the two words, longer word first.
Example: Begin -> Heavenly body
Answer: The words are Start and Star.

1. Serious -> Cut off
2. Scorch -> Body of water
3. Deck member -> Vehicle
4. Smelled -> Shock; surprise
5. Spotted horse -> Imperial volume
6. Young farm animal -> Escape; to beat
7. Second; pre-release version -> Wager
8. Anger -> Hair

Bonus: Take the eight curtailed letters and form a one-word anagram; you will see something peripheral.
