I was under the impression that the AO\\\'s needed horror and death. So each culture has its own idea of what constitutes horror - every culture has their own scary stories and thus their own ritual. Everyone is performing the same ritual, in the sense of \\\"let\\\'s create a scenario in which the participants will be terrified, made to suffer, and then die horribly.\\\" It\\\'s just that every culture has its own way of doing that.
Frankly, 15 years ago, very few Americans would be scared by a Stringy-Haired Japanese Ghost Girl, so using something like that in America would have been silly. It wouldn\\\'t have evoked the necessary terror, and thus the ritual wouldn\\\'t have been fulfilled. So, Japan uses their horror tropes, America uses theirs, and so on.
