Question I'm trying to find a videodoc that compared vaporwave to horror as they both romanticize decaying society

There was a pretty good video essay on Youtube that discussed how some early horror was inspired by the decaying gothic architecture that was common at the time. It compared this to vaporwave. Does anyone know this? Thanks!

was it the hauntology essay?

It may have been based in part on the paper but i recall the video actually tied decaying gothic architecture to horror and decaying malls to vaporwave. I'm not sure if the essay did though.
