S - Cadres cryptically are terrified (6,5). Originally I had second word 'stiff' but changed it to 'silly' to fit other answers. But cannot parse 'silly'. Any ideas?

It's a sort of "reverse anagram". If the clue included "scared silly", silly would be the anagram indicator.

don't think silly actually parses - i think it is the whole thing ... "silly" version of cadres ... indicating it's an anagram indicator...

Scared is a "silly" version of cadres.

Thanks again, Sudokulover for your helpful hints. Now finished. I misled myself on S by focussing on Tape rather than EP.
