Born in Tremont, Mississippi, Jackson grew up in Adrian, Michigan.
This delination was given due to the bizarre nature, content, and lack of defined storyline prevalent in his film and because virtually all of his films were harshly criticized by film critics. As an adult he struggled to become a filmmaker for many years while working at an auto factory. Finally, in the mid-1970s he made his first feature film, a horror film parody, The Demon Lover.
This film was soon followed by the wrestling film, I Like to Hurt People.
These films financed his move to Hollywood, California, where he remained until his death. Jackson is perhaps most well known for creating and directing the cult film, Hell Comes to Frogtown.
