need help with preperations for photography project?? to all normal/amateur/ pro phot

[Angels Thanatos]

This is a rly important assignment for school and i neeed to get it right
ok so i have decided that for a studio portrait project taht i either do

-little red riding hood [in a somewhat dark setting]
- or seven deadly sins
now i have the ideas in my head but i was wondering since i have saved money for some upgrades for my nikon D90: [ u dont have to answer everything just teh ones u think u can answer though if u can answer all 3 it would be very wll appreciated]
is the normal 18-115 mm lens very good for portrait?
would the right external flash look rly good for an almost macabre shot?
besides angle shots what suggestions would u give during the photoshoot?
not only do i want to get a good mark on this but i rly want to get my pics hung up on the wall in school for display AND yearbook ^_^

Thank You!

Honestly in a studio any lens would do just fine as long as you have a good focal length and arent super close to your subject. But I have to say this is your assignment. I would look around on Flickr, just search for "little red" and see what comes up. Also please type better. I kinda didn't want to answer your question because of your typing. FYI
