It seems an odd reaction and not entirely explained by American culture - most gothic buildings in Europe attract tourists, including lots of Americans, who visit them because they find the beautiful. I have not heard that reaction from any American i know, nor from other people from multiple cultures (who all watch American media, of course!). Gothic does convey a sense of age, which helps with spooky, but feeling an association with evil sounds like an very individual reaction.
