1. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut ghost shapes out of the white bread slices.
2. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one side of each ghost-shaped bread slice to make it the 'face' of the ghost.
3. Slice the black olives into small pieces and place them on the cream cheese to create eyes and a mouth for the ghost sandwich.
4. Peel the banana and slice it into two halves. Press mini chocolate chips into the banana's surface to make ghost faces (two eyes and an 'O'-shaped mouth for each).
5. Using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut pumpkin shapes out of the cheddar cheese slices for a festive cheese snack.
6. Cut the green apple into thin slices. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side of an apple slice, then top with another apple slice to create a 'monster mouth'. Insert pretzel sticks into the sides as 'fangs'.
7. Arrange all the items in a lunch box, with the ghost sandwich, banana ghost, pumpkin-shaped cheese slices, and apple monster mouths in separate compartments.
8. Optionally, decorate the lunch box with fun Halloween-themed stickers or small notes for an extra spooky surprise.
