Check out a local flea market if you have one or thrift stores. They're great for old stuff/materials. I just saw a bunch of stuff at the one near us that you could turn into goth deco.
Look on eBay and your will find alot of inexpensive stuff there. Also try craigslist.org . Spencer's is a good place..Also try Head shops like THe Gas Pipe, you know the places that sell bongs and stuff.
To save some money, try looking in the gardening department of many stores for those really heavy-duty iron crosses and hang them on your wall (An arrangement of many sizes and styles on one wall would look cool.) Also, you may be able to find gargoyles here. Maybe try the halloween section of a party store for a skull. You can also purchase red or black velvet fabric and do a complete wall of curtains (since you probably can't paint in an apartment).
Go to some auctions. They are a lot of fun and it is amazing how many cool and unusual things you can get very cheaply.
if you live by chicago go to the ally it's on the north side on belmont http://www.thealley.com/servlet/the-uniq... web site isent all that helpful but they have cool stuff their}.
