Top 10 Most Popular Halloween Costumes of 2011

From Batman and Spider-Man to princesses and fairies, here are the top costumes for adults, kids and pets.

Are you planning on being a vampire this Halloween? A ghost, perhaps? How about a pirate?

If so, you probably won't be the only one, since you've picked one of the most popular costumes this year, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation.

The organization recently released its top 10 costume list for adults, kids and pets, and while most are predictable – "pirate" and "witch" made all three lists – a few are surprising, such as "cat" and "dog" as two of the most popular pet costumes (is that even dressing up?).
