Ghost Laser Cut SVG Designs for the Door, the Table and the Shelf

The ghost is the easiest Halloween motif to live with. It reads as Halloween from across the street, it never crosses into gore, and small children at the door laugh at it instead of backing away.

Below are sixteen ghost laser cut SVG designs, one at a time: what each piece is, where it goes, and what changes in the room once it is there. Some are single designs, some come as part of a bundle, and that is noted where it applies.

Ghost signs for the front door

A door round is the fastest way to make an entry look decorated. One cut, one hook, done. The five below cover the range from friendly to funny.

Just Say Boo Door Hanger

The round is split across the middle. Two ghosts lean over the lower half like they are looking over a fence, one in a bow tie, one with a bow on its head, and the words “Just Say Boo” sit underneath.

The piece is built in layers, so it stands off the door with real depth instead of reading flat. It is the friendliest greeting in this list and the safest pick for a house where toddlers come up the steps.

Hey Boo Round with a Crowd of Ghosts

This one is split down the middle instead. The left half is packed with small ghosts cut clean through the panel, the right half carries the words “Hey Boo!” in tall dripping letters.

Because the shapes are cut out rather than layered on, the wall behind shows through and the sign changes with the light. Hang it where something sits behind it: a coloured door, a window, a wreath.

Boo Web Hanger

Not a round at all. A spider web spans the top with a bat at each end, the word “Boo” hangs below it in heavy letters with a web cut inside each O, and a spider comes down on a thread from the middle of the web.

The open shape is the point: it breaks the row of circular signs that most porches end up with. Good above a bench, a console table or a doorway rather than on the door itself.

Hey Boo Round with a Waving Ghost

Same greeting, opposite treatment. A single ghost stands on the left with one arm raised, little stars scattered around it, and “hey Boo” runs across the right in a looping script. A web fills one corner and two bats break the edge.

It is the more grown up of the two Hey Boo rounds. If your door already has a lot going on, this is the calmer choice.

Ghost Welcome Sign

The most detailed cut here. Three ghosts stand together in the middle, a web stretches across the top with bats and a moon above it, pumpkins sit at both sides, and a banner across the bottom reads “Welcome”.

The panel is cut as openwork, so the piece lives on how much light passes through it. It looks best on a door with glass behind, or propped against a lamp on a hall table.

One design, delivered as a ZIP. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, PNG. Cuts in wood, acrylic and other laser-friendly sheet material.

Hello Door Hanger with a Ghost

The busiest sign in this list, and the only one built as a scene. A full moon fills the round back panel, a haunted house stands against it with lit windows, a bare tree leans in from the left, bats cross the sky, a picket fence runs along the bottom and a smiling ghost floats out to the right. “Hello” runs across the front in cut script, with a web in each bottom corner and a spider hanging on a thread below.

Everything is stacked in layers, so the house sits behind the lettering and the ghost sits in front of it. On a door that depth is what stops a sign reading like a printed sticker from three steps away.

It is the friendly end of the haunted house look: the building is spooky, the ghost is smiling, and “Hello” does the rest. Good for a front door that gets small visitors, or a porch corner next to a window where the layers catch side light.

Ghosts for the shelf and the wall

Door signs are seen once, on the way in. These are the pieces people sit next to all evening.

Ghosts and Pumpkins Standing Set

Four standing pieces, each a layered ghost above a carved pumpkin. One holds a BOO banner, one wears a polka dot bow tie, one wears a witch hat, and one is caught mid surprise. Standing bases are part of the files.

Because they are separate pieces, you set the spacing. All four on a mantel reads as a scene; one on a desk and one on a bathroom shelf spreads the season through the house.

Four designs in the bundle. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, DWG.

Fall Ghosts in Hats and Scarves

Three standing ghosts dressed for the season: one in a knitted hat with a pumpkin spice mug, one in a beret and scarf holding a fall leaf, one carrying a harvest basket of pumpkins.

This is the set that survives November. Nothing on it says Halloween specifically, so it stays out from early autumn through Thanksgiving instead of going back in a box on the first.

Three designs in the bundle. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, DWG.

Ghost House Shelf Piece

A layered house on an oval base: pitched roof, round window, bunting across the front, a door at the bottom and a pumpkin beside it. A ghost rises from behind the roof and looks over it.

It is built up from several layers, so the front reads as a real facade with depth rather than a flat silhouette. Put it where it will be seen from the side as well as head on.

Three different houses in the bundle, each with its own character, and all of them friendly rather than frightening. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, DWG. Cuts in wood, MDF, acrylic and cardstock.

Ghost on a Swing

The one piece here with moving parts in its shape. An A frame with ladders up both sides stands on a base, a ghost hangs on the swing inside it, a crow sits on the peak and a bat hangs off the frame. A small pumpkin sits at the foot.

It works as the centre of a table because it has height and an inside to look into. Set it where people sit down: a dining table, a coffee table, a hall console.

The Farm Set: Barn, Ghost and Boo Sign

Three pieces from the same farm bundle. Two of them hang and one stands, so together they cover a wall and the surface underneath it instead of crowding one shelf.

The barn hangs flat on the wall. It is built up in layers: the curved roofline and the big cross braced doors sit dark against lighter boards, a small two pane window looks out from the loft, and two ghosts lean out from behind the walls, one at each side. It is the backdrop the other two work against.

The ghost is the one that stands. It holds a pitchfork cut from darker wood, the eyes and mouth are cut clean through, and a few curved slots suggest the folds of the sheet. Put it on the surface under the barn and it reads as the farmer who came with the building, which is the joke.

The plaque is the punchline, and it hangs from a cord. “Boo Vine Friends” sits in raised letters, the first word wearing a pair of cow horns and ears, with a spider web cut into the panel below. It is the piece guests actually read, so give it eye level and let the barn sit beside it.

The tiered tray bundle has ten designs; three of them are shown here. Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG.

Floral Ghost

Standing layered ghost with flowers at its sides, ghost laser cut SVG from svgdiy.com

A standing ghost with sunflowers and leaves layered across it at both sides. The sheet shape is simple; the flowers do the work.

This is the piece for a house that does not want an obviously spooky shelf. Next to a vase of dried stems it reads as autumn decor first and Halloween second, which is exactly why it stays out longer than the rest.

Files: SVG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF, DWG.

Welcome to Our Haunted House Sign

A plaque with cut corners, “Welcome to Our Haunted House” engraved across it, small jack o lanterns in the corners and spiders scattered between the lines. Three figures stand along the top edge: a black cat with yellow eyes on the left, a carved pumpkin in the middle, a ghost on the right.

The three characters are the reason this one works where a plain lettered sign would not. They break the rectangle, so the piece reads from across the room and not only up close.

It is the greeting sign for a house that already has a cat. Stand it on the hall console or the porch step where people slow down anyway.

The door sign bundle has fourteen designs; this is one of them, listed with PDF, SVG, DWF, DWG, EPS and AI files.

Ghost Stories Tic Tac Toe Board

Two panels that travel together. The left one is the lid: a ghost sits reading a book with a lantern in one hand, stars and leaves around it, “Tic Tac Toe” engraved above and “Ghost Stories” below, with a thumb hole in the corner. The right one is the board, a tray of nine square wells.

The pieces are what make it: nine little Halloween tokens instead of crosses and noughts, each one its own shape, so the game reads across the table from any seat.

This is the piece for a house with children, or for the table people drift to after the food is cleared. It is also the one thing in this list that is used rather than looked at, which is why it survives the season and goes back in the drawer instead of a box in the attic.

Two Haunted Houses From a Bigger Bundle

Two houses from a larger haunted-house bundle, shown here in two colour schemes. The first is tall and nearly black with purple trim, amber windows, a bare tree hung with small pumpkins and a ghost in a witch hat by the roof. The second is a crooked purple house under a yellow moon, with curled orange roofs, a witch on a broom and a ghost at the upper window.

In both, the picket fence is a separate piece set a little in front of the house, and each house stands on its own base. That small gap between fence and facade is what makes a flat design read as a little scene instead of one flat cutout.

The same bundle adds more pieces beyond these two: a round pumpkin-shaped haunted house, a twin-spire purple house with a pair of ghosts, a jack-o’-lantern house wearing a witch hat, a haunted tree with a carved face and a door in its trunk, a small bare tree with a pumpkin at its base, a witch and a pumpkin-headed figure seated by a directional signpost, and a HAPPY HALLOWEEN welcome sign flanked by pumpkins.

Three Houses From the Haunted Village

One archive, three houses. The first leans under a tall curled roof with a chimney, a web cut into the corner and a spider on a thread, with a carved pumpkin on one side and a ghost on the other. The second has a pointed roof, a round window, an owl on a bare branch and a low picket fence. The third is built around a big pumpkin, with an arched door and a web stretched across the top.

Each house stands in a base together with its ghost and the grass at its feet, so the scene lifts and moves as one piece rather than a handful of loose figures. Three in a row make a small street for a mantel or a tiered tray.

The wood stays unpainted: the picture comes from the cut lines and the layers, not from colour, so plain plywood is enough. The archive holds three files of each format: SVG, AI, DWG, EPS, DXF, PDF. The maker does not list material thickness or finished size, so check the scale in your software before cutting.

Putting the ghosts together

If you only cut one thing, cut a door round. It does the most work for the least effort, and Just Say Boo or Hey Boo will suit almost any door.

If you want the house to feel decorated rather than labelled, pair one door piece with two standing ones and keep the heights different: the swing or the house for height, the small ghosts and pumpkins low around them.

And if you would rather not pack everything away on the first of November, lean on the fall ghosts and the floral ghost. Sweaters, scarves and flowers carry through the whole season, so the same cuts stay out until the winter decor goes up.

These files are listed with a commercial license, so pieces cut from them can be sold at a fair or in a shop, not just kept for the house.
