A Shoggoth on the Roof:
maybe try overlaying some of the colors and values from the picture onto the text? I mean, I don't know what your revisions looks like, but it might work? I dunno, experiment.

Also I would be careful adding noise to the background, the picture already looks pretty grainy, and adding noise on pure black has a high probability of looking bad, or like a cheap photoshop edit. But you seem to be obsessing over details (or at least being picky with the font), so you've probably got it under control.

fish across face:
Yeah, assuming you're using Photoshop or GIMP, maybe clone bits of the picture, overlay that on top of the black bits, drop the opacity and/or mess with the brightness / contrast to see if you can get some graininess that's consistent with the grain of the picture itself.

A Shoggoth on the Roof:
I dunno about photoshop but I know GIMP has some really useful options in the layers menu, you can change what the layer does- like make it so it just affects the color of the image or something like that.

Phaedra:
Man, noise is so 1999.

Download some nice old papery textures. Use those, setting the layer they're on to multiply or dodge or whatever looks good, adjust the opacity and you're done.

Jimor:
Yes, something like that is more what I meant. If it was actually printed on paper, that would have been enough right there, but on a computer screen, the completely clean background and font is just too much of a jarring contrast to the wonderfully textured photo.
