SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1413289294506iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The only thing more ridiculous than dressing a dog, cat, bird or some other pet in a Halloween costume is that Americans spend $350 million doing it every year, according to the National Retail Federation.

Of course, when photos or videos are posted on the Internet of a cocker spaniel dressed as Batman or a cat in a tuxedo, everybody can’t help but laugh — at the poor pet’s expense.

Some of the big sellers this year, says Costumesupercenter.com, is the Minion Pet Costume from Despicable Me 2 along with such tried-and-true favorites like Captain America, Darth Vader and Wonder Woman. Of course, there’s nothing like forcing Fido to wear a hot dog or taco outfit either.

Still, here’s the NRF’s top 10 pet costumes for 2014:

  1. Pumpkin
  2. Hot Dog
  3. Devil
  4. Bumble Bee
  5. Cat
  6. Batman Character
  7. Superman
  8. Witch
  9. (T) Ghost
  10. (T) Pirate
  11. Star Wars Character
