Personally, I think blobs speaking through an ability that makes pretend zombies is fine as is. I don't think it needs to be complicated into an actual blob zombies thing, though I have seen some interesting takes on the idea. (No seriously, I'm not tooting my own horn, I find the the general cultist idea legitimately fine.)
Veseloff's vision of the ability is pretty solid. I'd do the same, but the sprite would be a human-shaped mass of blob with the original person's hair, a deliberately terrible speaking animation with an animated mouth, and slightly off-proportions (e.g. head too small for hair, head slightly too high above shoulders), ideally enough to induce uncanny valley. Or just with the hilarious Exadv1-era, "classic" human sprite.
