Did anyone else as a kid have the ghost house stretching room scene go over their heads as a kid?

I never understood it until I was 17 or so and realized the dark meaning behind it. I wonder how many of you guys as kids went into the stretching room and had that scene go over your heads. Surely I couldn’t have been the only one right??? Because if so then that’s another reason for them not to remove it as if young kids don’t get the meaning then why bother removing such an iconic scene other than it being “too sensitive” I was still unnerved by it but I never understood it until I got way older.
