Take b&w photos with your camera and edit them in photoshop, like jack-o-lantern said. or you could take b&w photos and try soaking them in tea or coffee. They also make toners (found in any camera store) that you could use if you develop your own photos, that allows you to give them a older looking effect. if you have them developed somewhere im not sure if the toners work once the picture is dry, ive never tried it that way.

Ahhh ,you beat me to it! We did this last year at work. We grabbed every old and old looking frame we could find (luckily the previous owner of my house left a whole pile of old dusty frames, we didn't even clean them off. It added to the effect) , printed the pictures on the the B&W laser printer, wiped them down with cold coffee to give them a sepia effect, then put them up in our area. Added a couple Goretraits in there, lit the whole thing with black lights, (the paper still glowed, though not as brightly as it would have had we not wiped them down with coffee) added some quiet organ music and we had a pretty creepy effect going on. We also printed out a sheet telling our visitors what Victorian Post Mortem photography was and what they were seeing. I really wish I had gotten some pictures of it.
Thrift stores and garage sales are good places for frames, and some gold spray paint can help some look more 'Victorian' . But it can be done on the cheap. Good luck.
